"I knew this job was busy, but..."

Frolics and Detours has crossed the bar:

I have jumped from the frying pan into the flame... While I was nervous, the judge understood they were my first pleas and took it easy on me. Even though he didn't know my name, he didn't call me out in front of my client as a new attorney. This helps in not perpetuating the rumor around the jail that public defenders are not lawyers...

It's funny, I know so many lawyers, and so many of them are changing professions. Not completely out of law, but closing their practices and taking jobs at the state or federal court, etc.

Forgot to add something. It's nice to know that other people relate to what I'm going through right now.
