I've managed to avoid having to deal with CP cases directly and thank gently caress for that. I've had a couple of DV cases where the kids tried to protect the victim and that's plenty as is. Worst was when I had a 13 year old and their CPS worker come to the clinic I used to work at for a DVRO filing against dad. Kid just launched into full detail of everything during the interview and woof.

Sympathies to any of you who have had to work CP/abuse cases. When I was in law school I had a chance to volunteer either at a school for handicapped kids or to volunteer at a home for victims of child abuse. I was told by the director of the home that some of the kids are so traumatized that they will act out sexually with adults they like and trust because that's what they've been taught by their abusers. I decided to volunteer with the handicapped kids instead.

I worked four years doing divorces that involved domestic abuse, child abuse, and sexual assault. I burned out so badly that all I could do at the office was stare numbly at case law for hours on end.

GET MONEY posted:Yes, I recognized that, but the “magic bullet” approach is appealing and it’s not clear whether it would fail in areas other than niche litigation. For example, from what I’ve heard, tax practice can be somewhat magic bullet-y. I’d like to know if there is anything else? Upon research I've narrowed the most magic bullet-y practices down to:
Any thoughts on which areas are dying/thriving, or offer the best shot at biglaw employment?

Anything that involves or could involve medical evidence is the furthest possible thing from any kind of 'magic bullet' approach, so there goes half the list. You remain the dumbest poster in this thread, and I'm here.

Admiralty was considered but I figure it's too niche and also sometimes I get seasick. I could probably strike tax, personal injury, labor & employment, and insurance coverage too. Per my understanding, the rest all offer varied work that regularly balances factual analysis and problem solving with intellectual exercise.

No qualms there, "goodness" is relative -- those areas in particular just seemed more formulaic and less strategic after diving a bit deeper.

Actually, law, and biglaw is no different, is a fulfilling and interesting career regardless of the area of law. Every field will have you do important work on interesting and valuable projects that can and will contribute to your professional development and make you grow as a person. All this talk about not going to law school is just memeing and sometimes trolling, disregard that and go for it. You will rarely be bored, I promise
