What I have said is that AA appears to be entering law with some level of naivete, which offends him.

CG used to have many lawyers who no doubt are able to give AA all the advice he needs to replicate their very fine existences.

The problem is that AA is made of a different material than them. ...

You'll be getting exactly what you deserve as well.

As far as I know, I've never made a colleague cry through piggish behavior.

I really should have never said anything. AA is excited about this journey he is going on, and really, that's the thing about life--it's like a stage. Actors come on stage left, and they leave...

I don't have the patience to explain it to you. Nor am I an expert in it.

You are kind of like me, I suspect. I didn't know very much at all about the profession of medicine before I jumped in. ...

Look at medico-legal. In some countries, medico-legal is huge business (USA). In other countries, it is almost non-existant.
