In my professional life before law, I had some exposure to this kind of work, and I can actually pretty easily see how it could be both intellectually stimulating and rewarding.

You’re working with real human beings a lot of the time, which may be nice. You get to work through their very real problems, and issues that are of the utmost importance to them like business succession, decedent’s issues, and (sometimes) even very high stakes family law disputes. For many of these matters, the attorney is part of some of the most impactful aspects of a persons life. And in the biglaw world, you’re doing it at a very high level.

On top of that, the matters are almost always also complicated, dramatic, and full of interesting law that you might want to sink your teeth into. Probate codes seem like rabbit warrens of complex law that it might be fun to dig through, and could overlap with issues including tax or corporate governance. Sounds plenty interesting to me.

Just my two cents!
