The coffee arrives, and we backslide into what lawyers do best---talking about other lawyers.
things-in-life long lawyer
There are few things in life worse than a long-winded lawyer.
who-i-am years lawyer
I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am.
book hands law
I give off rather mixed messages about the law. On the one hand, I can honestly say I don't miss working in a law office. On the other hand I do enjoy watching the law and while the profession may have its problems, I have sold zillions of books out of magnifying them.
mother law wife
The mother of a trophy wife is not automatically a trophy mother-in-law.

She was pondering the option of law school, the great American baby-sitter for directionless postgrads.
way blame lawyer
The company later went broke, and of course all blame was directed at the lawyers. Not once did I hear any talk that maybe a trace of mismanagement could in any way have contributed to the bankruptcy.

stupid years law
I don't feel stupid, just inadequate. After three years of studying the law, I'm very much aware of how little I know.

We learned after the first semester in law school that it's best never to discuss exams. If notes are compared afterwards, you become painfully aware of things you missed.
father decision lawyer
My decision to become a lawyer was irrevocably sealed when I realized my father hated the legal profession.

Every morning I wake at 6am or 6.30am, champing at the bit.

ability athlete athletic boys chip delusions dreams hardy invite lots mark reading remember student twain
I was never a bookworm. I remember reading Dr. Seuss, the Hardy Boys, Emil and the Detectives, Chip Hilton, and lots of Mark Twain and Dickens. My athletic ability did nothing but invite taunts. I was an indifferent student and an athlete with delusions of adequacy, dreams of adulation.
