I just saw this article in the New York Times yesterday and thought it might be of interest (I figured not everyone is as devoted a NY Times Style section reader as I am!). I don't know that its completely relevant to a lot of the issues we've been discussing, and as a Style section piece surely somewhat less serious - which is why I am posting it in a new topic. But the issue it raises is one of balancing work hours which, whatever area of law one goes into, is certainly a major issue in such a demanding profession - one which already concerns me on a daily basis as a first year law student. I would be interested in hearing other people's thoughts on this subject.
