1st in the Michael Seeley series. Seeley is an attorney specialising in intellectual property. His life is not going so well lately: his wife has left him, as are his paying clients, he drinks too much and an angry judge wants to see him disbarred. So maybe getting away for some days to work on an Error and omission report for a movie studio would be a good idea... But things are not so easy when he discovers that the author of a scenario in litige may not be the real author...

As an intellectual property manager, I was really interested to read that book. As Seeley goes to Europe to meet with the real author so he can sign an authorship declaration, he also must face his own reality. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward for the next in the series. I gave it a 4. ( )

4205 Errors and Omissions A Novel by Paul Goldstein (read 2 Sep 2006) This is a 2006 legal "thriller," the author being a Stanford law professor reputedly an expert on intellectual property law. Mike Seeley is of Polish heritage (his father changed his surname) from Buffalo who went to Canisius and to Harvard Law and is practicing with a big New York firm very successfully but who has a problem with alcohol. He is trying to get an assignment of rights from an author of a movie script used in the 1950s. It is an easy book to read, moves fast, and holds one's interest--and at the end things seem to run more smoothly than seems probable. And, contrary to so many Grisham "heroes" at the end Seeley decides to go back to practicing law in the little town of Buffalo, NY! A good book, having as its hero a good lawyer who elicits one's admiration. ( )

Michael Seely is a lawyer representing a studio on intellectual property rights and reveals back-alley deals done in the black list days that are still worth killing for. An overly complex book that didn't add up to much interesting. ( )

Citaten
'(...) As a lawyer, I am sure you understand that a decision not to act can be as consequential - perhaps even more so - as a decision to take action. It is true, is it not, that in law errors of omission are as indictable as errors of commission? (...)'
