"Are we happy being lawyers? Being lawyers, we tend to answer that question with other questions: What do you mean by “happy”? On a scale that runs from having root canals to a night of fine wines and sex on a tropical island, where does “unhappiness” turn into “happiness”? Do you mean “happy” right now as I write footnote 17 on this brief for Acme Investments or “happy” during the course of my ten-year legal career? If I’m happy one-quarter of the time, miserable one-quarter of the time, and somewhere in between half the time, how do I answer your question? Also, is anyone else going to know the answer that I give you?—because if they do I’m going to inflate my happiness quotient."
