Getting Into Litigation
From my point of view, the real reason to be a lawyer is that-as corny as it might sound- every now and then you have an opportunity to help somebody. Given my own interests and talents, the best way that I can help somebody is by presenting a case in a courtroom. It’s really the only part of the law that I’ve ever really wanted to do, which is to try cases, to litigate controversies, and to try to be the best courtroom advocate that I possibly can.
For me, the thing that is the greatest challenge for any courtroom lawyer is defending a criminal case with a client who is arguably truly not guilty, where the potential downside is someone who might actually be innocent being convicted of a crime.
