It's not glamorous, and there are daily conundrums to deal with, but you're a lawyer. Your job is to constantly analyze the difference between right and wrong…and you have to start somewhere. Why not at county court? Unfortunately, you might not get treated with a ton of respect. Kind of like this guy.
When you do become high-profile, though, you'll be booking cases the way U2 books concerts. Not to mention you also get gigs as "legal consultant" on FOX, CNN, and MSNBC.
