Can you imagine your legal career as a fun, exciting, rewarding and balanced part of your larger life purpose? If you can, you’re already on the right track to making the legal profession better than it is today. If you can’t, then it’s time to start and this book will help."Kevin Houchin has written a wonderful little guide book for law students. Too often, books about how to survive law school are replete with rules and suggestions about study, time management, and the like. Fuel the Spark is different. Kevin’s book offers a different way of thinking about law school and your place in it as it offers thoughts about how you will develop as a person. Fuel the Spark in an insightful and enjoyable book, with stories and ideas which will stay with you throughout the three years of legal education." - Joseph P. Tomain, Dean Emeritus & Wilber & Helen Ziegler, Professor of Law University of Cincinnati College of Law"In an age of competing demands on attorneys' time, where one is never truly unreachable from the office, Kevin Houchin has written a short but insightful guide to becoming the lawyer that you want to be, instead of merely being the lawyer that circumstances have molded you into. Houchin blends his principles with practical tips on how to regain control over your professional life, from the importance of "showing up" and making yourself known, to the need to know thyself and determine what is it that YOU want yourself to be. It is a short read, but it may be helpful in becoming the reflective practitioner that you want to become." -Jed Sorokin-Altmann, Esq."Such a quiet, yet profound missive. I am encouraged that legal practitioners will be able to avail themselves of this gentle aid to wake them up and live consciously at such a critical juncture in their personal and professional lives." -Idara E. Bassey, J.D., LL.M.“For many of us, law school can be a disorienting experience, but it does not have to be. The process of becoming a lawyer can also be an empowering time of self-discovery. But to achieve this higher level of law school success, reflection and self-awareness are essential, and most law school curriculums do not make much room for such introspection. But these materials can help you fill the gap. This book contains the wisdom, insight, and strategies to help you get the most of out of your law school years.”-Joshua E. Perry, J.D., M.T.S., Vanderbilt University Law School“Kevin Houchin’s book is a perfect blend of rules you need for your practice of law and for the human spiritual practice. His work not only teaches how to excel in your career, but how to use the ethical rules of practice to make a better life for yourself and your family.”-Mina N. Sirkin, Esq., Woodland Hills, CA, www.SirkinLaw.com“Kevin Houchin is the real deal. Kevin’s stories are entertaining offering a message of hope and inspiration for lawyers and the legal profession.
