It's not about the money. They shake hands
because they worked so, so hard, and there is
a kind of battlefield camaraderie. It's more
like shaking hands after a tennis match.
By the way, the firm makes money. Not the
individual lawyer, unless he works alone.
Litigators don't do it just for the money.
They do it for the love of the mental challenge
and because they like to fight, frankly. That's
why the judge chuckled when he said they were
not going to argue about his decision on their
comments on the jury instructions, that all
good things have to come to an end sometime.
Litigators would happily argue until the end
of time. They like it. It's a little
like playing chess, but much, much harder in
that other people are in the mix, so you can't
totally control even what you end up doing.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
