I needed less than a second to know that I did not want to be Tharaud or a lawyer like her, but it took this essay to know whether that was because I didn’t want to be in Lawyerland/lawyerland at all or because I didn’t want to be a certain type of lawyer. Because the two lawyers in Cerriere’s Answer represent both sides of the fight, the former seemed inevitable until I decided that there are other fights. And perhaps even non-fights. In any event, there are at least other ways of fighting. Still, these are lawyers, and it appears that I might be becoming a lawyer myself, so I have quite a personal stake in distinguishing between lawyers and lawyers.
