"The Adventures of Firstyr the Younger, Bed Time Stores For First Year Lawyers", written by Edward J. Pontacoloni is now available for purchase at Xlibris.
Norm Pattis writes, "Praise for the Adventures of Firstyr the Younger". The law is neither art nor science. Most often it is caprice. Mr. Pontacoloni's allegory and poem would be a worthy addition to any first-year law student's reading list. Indeed, I would make it required reading. A little bit of humility can go a long way in the practice of law."
