Find an outlet for your stress. Practicing law is a thankless profession. You're going to get yelled at by your clients, opposing clients and opposing attorneys on a regular basis.
You're going to be subjected to mind boggling rulings by politically connected judges, many of whom have never tried a case in their life.
You're often going to feel like your drowning in a sea of briefs, motions and discovery. And you will know that these cases often involve a person's freedom or family.
If you can't find a way to deal with the stress, go ahead and do something else or prepare to become an alcoholic or drug addict.

well put, These things this poster mentioned run good council out of practice. This leaves us with those you see on tv. Law is one of the professions where it helps to be a sociopath.
