Antiquarian books on law department management

On Google’s BookSearch on October 26th, the term "law department" turned up 3,260 hits. Many were addresses to graduates of law schools and a wide variety of other cites. The term "legal department" returned a mere 2,550 hits.

What interested me as I scanned the pages of results were the four aged treatises that showed up on law department management (See my posts of Aug. 17, 2005 with other management books; Feb. 23, 2006 that relates a similar search of Amazon; and July 18, 2006 with some early publications.).

Thanks for the tips!

I am not finding the post of Aug. 17, 2005 with other management books. Is this reference correct?
