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. It sounds like you are in the same position regarding law.

It's okay to be idealistic, it really is. Talk to me in 4-5 years, and tell me if I was wrong. About any of this.

What society needs and what lawyers need are not necessarily the same thing.
