TYPES OF LAWYERS . . . Since I began this weblog in 2004, there's been a Google search that's consistently lured readers here: "Types of Lawyers."
From the very beginning, it was such a popular search query that it led me, a few years ago, to really think about the question. How many types of lawyers are there?
After a few months of work I came up with the answer. Seventeen.
Here they are, in order of their appearance on this weblog:
Types of Lawyers #1: The Big Firm Summer Associate
Types of Lawyers #2: The Partner Who Talks Too Fast
Types of Lawyers #3: The Lawyer Who Advertises on TV
Types of Lawyers #4: The Lawyer Who Carries Another Lawyer’s Briefcase
Types of Lawyers #5: The Lawyer Who Brings Her Breast Pump to the Office
Types of Lawyers #6: The Mafia Lawyer
Types of Lawyers #7: The Modest Lawyer
Types of Lawyers #8: The Partner Who Golfs
Types of Lawyers #9: The Lawyer on the Run
Types of Lawyers #10: The Lawyer Who's in the Wrong Profession
Types of Lawyers #11: The Lawyer from the Planet Og
Types of Lawyers #12: The Lawyer Who's Writing a Legal Thriller
Types of Lawyers #13: The Stereotypical Lawyer
Types of Lawyers #14: The Lawyer Who's on The Apprentice
Types of Lawyers #15: The Associate Who Knew Where the Bodies Were Buried
Types of Lawyers #16: The Lawyer with the Shiny New Gadget
Types of Lawyers #17: The Associate Who Finally Gets a Chance to Meet the Senior Partner
I think that about covers it. Seventeen different types of lawyers.
What type of lawyer do you want to be?
As a Judge Advocate, I'm not entirely sure in what category I fall. But I have a inclination to join the Lawyer who's in the wrong profession group.

I am also inclined to go with the Lawyer who is in the wrong profession or maybe you should do another post about the reluctant Lawyer.

Ah, one of my favorite series on this site. Good to see it revived.
