The only reason I have not responded sooner is I am way too busy in my new job - I have moved over to the defense side. So far I really like it - it is a lot more interesting to me than prosecution (though I imagine at some point there is a burnout factor, if only due to the travel - I live in western WA, and have clients here, in eastern WA, CA, SD, UT, MT, and AZ). IMO the law is not per se boring - there are flavors to suit most kinds of personalities. For my part I think criminal work is the most interesting, but to each his own . . .
