Abstract:
"As lawyers, we learn "the law" in law school, but we are rarely, if ever, taught how to run a business. Starting running and sustaining a law firm--like it or not-- is running a business. To address this reality, legal incubators have sprouted up to provide business support, training and mentoring for participants to launch their own sustainable solo or small law firm." Originally called the Durham Opportunity and Justice Incubator, it has since been renamed the Incubator for Legal Practice and Innovation to reflect a broader emphasis for serving attorneys from across the state.

What opportunities were missed to disclose wrongdoing? How does an attorney rack up 99 counts of embezzlement, fraud, and other financial crimes against his firm and his clients without getting caught sooner."

Abstract:
" 'Just Throw a Rock . . and Run' is an introspective and broadly honest look at race relations in the Southern United States. In it, Judge Gary Trawick vividly illustrates what it was like living through the creation and implementation of the Civil Rights Act in North Carolina." Trawick, a retired Superior Court Judge was interviewed for this sketch. One reason for writing the book, Trawick states is to get people to top talking about slavery and Jim Crow eras and face up to the ongoing discrimination more recently happening in the last two generations.
