To play a lawyer and have one year of law school under your belt, you sort of know what you're talking about! I'm able to memorize the legal courtroom stuff a lot faster than I would have been able to otherwise.
I was interested in getting courtroom experience. When I was a young lawyer, the only way I could get real courtroom experience was in the criminal law field.
You see, some lawyers have the talent, have the charisma, but no discipline. They come into court unprepared, without having done their research.
There are a lot of things you can do with a law degree background, but I just didn't have a passion for it.
Lawyers work hard and, like us, they're human, many of them.

One of the things I was taught in law school is that I'd never be able to think the same again - that being a lawyer is something that's part of who I am as an individual now.
I'm more of an engineer with a law degree than I am a lawyer with an engineering degree in terms of how I think.

I liked discussion and debate and thought that these skills fit well with law. I also had an interest in justice - and later learned that sometimes law and justice actually agree!
