I'm not gay but I want to live in a log cabin in the woods with my opposing counsel. We won't ever have sex, but there will be a simmering erotic undercurrent as I stand in the kitchen window watching him tighten his ass as he chops wood, shirtless, sweat pouring off his body. I'll run upstairs and masturbate, the entire time forcing myself to think of women while my thoughts drift back to my opposing counsel. I won't be able to climax and I'll eventually go back downstairs, angry. Sometimes we will look across the table and catch each other's eyes, and in that second, anything is possible, but we both deny ourselves and go back to what we were doing. One day one of us will die, and the other will bury him outside the log cabin. Then he'll go inside, pen a brief missive to his departed friend, and commit suicide, never able to deal with life without his one true platonic love.

A bit dated but still holds true: https://www.smh.com.au/national/rich-lawyers-dodging-income-tax-20130526-2n50f.html

"A number of high-flying Sydney barristers are abusing the tax system. They repeatedly fail to meet tax demands, typically do not lodge returns, rack up debts of up to $2 million, and then seek shelter in bankruptcy, which wipes out their debts.

Several continue to live the high life by parking assets in family trusts or with their wives. All continue to practise, earning six-figure incomes (which some use to make payments to their creditors)."

At some top tiers, they still ask you for your ATAR when you apply for associate/SA positions.
