re: OT lawyers. ..Ever think about hanging it up?

one problem with law is it's hard to do it "part-time," because you're either engaged or you aren't. and in a firm, i've rarely seen reduced hours arrangements work very well.

i just had to find the right clients and get my priorities straight. get bills to a minimum so i'm not stressing if things slow down (and they will). also, i was never meant to be a true litigator. appellate work and ADR is fine, but i don't like the litigation environment.
