I think it is important that we all find some inspiration in our careers at some point. As an attorney, I sometimes find the word “inspiration” a difficult concept to grasp as the more cases I read about, it actually seems impossible for there to be any inspiration at all. My goal would be to help people with legal matters and actually have it be inspiring along the way. Is that possible?
I know everyone thinks of the law as “serious” and yes, I understand that. However, why does it have to lack inspiration? I have noticed many of the posts that I write always point out a negative direction that a particular legal case or issue addresses and I suppose it comes from wanting to see some inspiration in the law — but not finding it. I want to see a time when someone can realize they really don’t have a claim and decide to refrain from filing a frivolous lawsuit. I want to see two people peacefully discuss a dispute rather than build it up so much that by the time they appear in court, they are at each others throats.
I know it sounds very Jerry Maguire-ish but I just wish we could have a bit more inspiration in the law. My goal is to find it.
Let's make the law entertaining, shall we?

I stumbled across your blog and just wanted to say it left me with a spark of inspiration. I blog about such topics and enjoyed your outlook on finding it in the work that you do. Good luck to you!
