Been there; Done that. When I was in law school one of my professors said he would not hire any of us to handle his case. I now understand. Very few clients’ matters are answered strictly by things one of us learned in law school and how high our grade was. Instead, most matters include multiple legal issues. These issues arise in the context of how an experienced lawyer has dealt with these situations in the past including specific facts, and often the business, societal, or institutional context of the problem. A knowledgeable lawyer must also consider the human relations involved, including when the client can proceed without a lawyer, or when a particular type of legal expertise would best suit a client’s needs.
