Less so in my geographical area. At least, the billable hour requirements are considerably lower.
I've done that for other work. Never bothered me.
...is this not already the case in professional life?
Ooh, guess which type I am!
I like those documents, honestly.
Cant handle the heat, get out of the kitchen, right?
My favorite parts of practice are the research and writing.
And taking other's money.
Hearings and trials are a rush for me, but, again, I thrive on conflict. Hostility is fun for me. Even over procedural matters. I spent much of my high school and undergraduate extracurricular work doing performance, musical and theatrical. I have no stage fright issues anymore.
