How lawyers got to the places they are always fascinates me.
Good lawyers, bad lawyers, sharp lawyers, mediocre ones, the reasons they went
into the profession and, sometimes, the reasons they got out always seem to be engaging
stories, different than the ones to and from other professions somehow.
I’ve known fantastic lawyers who started out as musicians
and got tired of being poor, or as artists, or as nerds. Some
have been altruists, others, politicians. Most recently I read
about Adriana Gardella’s route to lawyerdom. Adriana Gardella, Auditioning for the Role of Young Professional, NYTimes.com (March 14, 2015). Once an
actor, once a lawyer, today she is a writer.
Is there a right or wrong reason for entering or exiting the
field? Of course not. All I really know for sure is that having a J.D. always
helps no matter which way a career’s path turns.
