This is a bit like writing about the programming business as if were all Google and Facebook. I knew a lot of people who started law school, most but not all of whom saw it through. Of them two or three joined fair-sized firms, one a small one, and the rest did all sorts of stuff--corporations (aerospace, insurance, ??), the military, the government.

"No relationship in the legal profession is more fraught than the one between partners and their money."

Another fine reason to avoid situations where you might have to hire a lawyer, no?
