One of my favourite books about being a lawyer: A Civil Action by Jonathan Harr (later made into a movie with John Travolta). Book takes place in the American context (and in the context of an environmental contamination case), but it's extremely well-written and interesting and really provides a good in-depth look about what it's like to be a particular type of lawyer (i.e., a small-firm bulldog type). Highly recommended!
My other advice is to try to work at a law firm for a bit - see if you can get a legal assistant job for a little while. It will definitely teach you a great deal about the inner workings of a law firm.
This is old and no one has commented but I just wanted to say this was a great article! If you're in to stuff like this with dirty dealings and West Africa, check out the book "My Friend the Mercenary." Amazing non-fiction. http://www.amazon.com/My-Friend-Mercenary-James-Brabazon/dp/0802119751
If you're interested in the subject, I'd suggest the book Sold Down the Yangtze. It's a book by an investment treaty law expert about the ramifications of these types of deals. It's not a hard read either, pretty accessible.
