I must have been delusional. When I was a corporate associate many moons ago, I thought I might find happiness as a matrimonial lawyer.

In hindsight, I doubt I would have lasted in family practice more than two weeks. Though I love the human-interest stuff, I am not a very patient person. That said, I think for some unhappy Big Law campers, matrimonial practice—with all its human drama—has a certain appeal.
