re: Lawyers in: Practice what you really enjoy or what makes you money?

I have a decent practice, make good money and really like the people I work with. That said, it’s a job and I don’t live for the law. I do this shirt because I have bills to pay and I like nice shite and I like to trave. If I hit the lottery, or just find a better way, I’m out.

Same. I rarely dislike what I do and never really feel like I'm pulled in an uncomfortable direction. Sure, I sometimes represent businesses who are probably in the wrong on a given dispute, but genuine ethical issues are extremely rare in my practice.

I'm usually working a small number of prolonged cases, which I like. Allows me the sport of litigation without the hassles of high volume. I also rarely have to engage in over the top play acting litigation, which I abhor.
