Stress

I know being a lawyer would be stressful, but I wasn't prepared for how much stress it actually came with. I was given a few files on a couple of court cases a client had; said client wanted to expunge his crimes to apply for a nursing job. My assignment was to write notes on what happened in every court appearing he had. Doing this, I was helping my mentor type out a guide for the judge because it would make it easier the judge to understand what has happened in the past. The benefit to this is that it would make the judge a little more willing to expunge the crimes since he didn't have to read through stacks of papers. The stressful part was that The format I showed to my mentor was never good enough; also, that whenever I thought I was done, I received more documents.

No wonder people hate desk jobs!
