Once again, I am quite late to the party, but for posterity’s sake, just want to add a few points: First, this is exactly what I do, and it’s just not that hard. Second, I was formery a public interest lawyer (doing impact litigation) and believe the skill set required for that job is very similar to the skill set required for my current job (commercial litigation). Lastly, I am doing what I am doing on the belief that it does the most good—I’ve considered the alternatives! If anyone seriously believes I’m mistaken, I’d very much like to hear from them.
