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 #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.
