The Art of War

• Read the Book Sun Tzu's "The Art of War"
• Watch the Movie on YouTube

Wikipedia says "...one of the oldest books on military strategy in the world. It is also one of the most famous studies of strategy and has had a huge influence on Eastern and Western military planning, business tactics, and beyond."

Foolkit would add "and to the strategies of clever lawyers"

Foolkit would also match this with a favorite, "Getting to Yes" by Fisher, Ury and Patton. That one you will have to buy.

The Law Society of NSW has a range of precedents that it sells. Although written for NSW Law, many are still of practical help for a South Australian Solicitor. Prices vary.
