Jenna’s Answer
I'll give you a lawyer answer: it depends! Different types of law attract different types of people to be lawyers. I am a real estate attorney. I like it because I don't go to court and I get to read and write a lot and use my negotiation skills to help my client get the best documents. I enjoy helping my clients and knowing that I am protecting them and their business, and I like being able to control the hours I work and the clients I accept. Other people may enjoy going to court or solving different types of problems. I think there is overall a desire to get things done and to help and protect the client, and to use our brains to make a difference!

Van,
Jenna is exactly correct! The various specialties in law are very different from each other!
I worked for an attorney who did Civil Rights Law. Watching him, it was like he was playing a chess game against the other side. It was all about strategy, out-maneuvering, and things like that, filing different motions, wording of his written arguments, etc. And then there was the eternal search for that one piece of evidence that would catch the opponent by surprise. He seemed to get an adrenalin rush when he discovered something that would be highly beneficial to the case - be it evidence or perhaps a certain decision in another case that supported our position. He really liked the intellectual challenge.
