Do you believe in life after law?
Apropos of our dear sister’s calling to our attention this sad fact, I came across this blog post that reports that one of the partners at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz has left the practice to study sociology and psychology with the aim of becoming a social worker. To those of you who are neither lawyers nor closely acquainted with them, Wachtell is the creme de la creme, the choicest, the apogee of law firms. And to the skeptics who say “Well, he’s already made a shitload of money, so whatever,” I still say it’s a pretty darn cool thing to do.
