This is the courthouse in my hometown. It's not this building, literally, that scares me. (In fact, I have sort of fond memories of it - I've been there dozens of times for such innocuous events as grade school field trips and picking up my first several driver's licenses. I was also called for jury duty there once, but that's a story for another day.) What I'm afraid of, here, is the idea that I still have the urge, even so long after I made what was a quite irrevocable decision, to chuck all that and do what's needed in order to practice law.
I will never truly understand why the process simultaneously attracts and repels me. Or why I've been, to this point, successful in living apart from it.
