I retired at 64. My retirement job is as a line lawyer with no administrative responsibilities. I love it. In maybe five years or so I’m going to retire again and substitute teach in HS or maybe MS. I volunteer in a HS and love being involved with kids. I doubt I’ll totally retire until my health makes work impossible.

What do you mean by a line lawyer?

You should help people maximize taxpayers' credits and deductions. I'm in control of my income somewhat and file as head of household.
Tell me how much earned income I need and how much I'm allowed to take out from investments to get the most.
I have earned $7k this year to put into Roth IRA to get saver's credit and EIC. I cannot withdraw over $11-$12k from investment or one of those credits goes away. Just ordered a tax book to figure this all out for 2026.
I wish someone had explained it all to me when I did may taxes very first time in 1998.

It usually means a non-supervisory lawyer.

This plus zero administrative responsibilities, client development responsibilities or anything else that goes beyond preparing and trying the cases assigned to me. It is so liberating.
