[quote=Anonymous]I think that there are jerks in every profession. In fact, there are jerks in every category of life.  However, I don't find that there are more in law than in other areas.  My husband is a big law partner in a big, global firm and he is truly the finest human being that I have ever met.  He works a lot, but I knew that when we decided to get married and we have done everything that we can to make our family happy and functional.  I think that we are doing a very good job at that.  Also, we have a close knit group of friends from the firm and all of them are honest, kind, decent people who are good spouses and parents.  We spend weekends at each other's weekend places, we've gone on group vacations, we socialize and have parties together. The lawyers (and spouses) in our group range in age from 35-60, so it is great to have families at many different stages of their lives and careers.  We are on the younger end and it has been great to have mentors and role-models to look up to. Admittedly, my husband used to work at a different firm and it wasn't nearly as friendly, but the culture is very different firm to firm.

I work in another profession (education-related) and the people are perfectly nice but they don't tend to socialize with each other and we certainly haven't created the friendship safety net that we have with our big law friends.

Don't believe what you see on tv or what you hear from one friend going through a nasty divorce. Many firm lawyers are happy, healthy, kind people. [/quote]
