I understand lawyer families like yours are financially successful by most measures.

Be careful about assumptions.

I went to an Ivy undergrad and a nationally recognized high school. Law is a very sub par outcome for that educational pedigree.

FYI, this comes off as extremely snobbish.

Most litigators rarely enter a courtroom.

Not our experience at all. But, firm choice plays a big role.

I will agree that golden handcuffs are real, a potential pitfall to watch out for.

For those who may be interested in the field and are reading this thread: in my view, it’s not a career for just anyone, as personal ability, career interests and goals, and financial realities need to all fit together nicely. For some, they will. If any of my kids want to apply to law school, we’ll probably be in the T14-or-bust camp.
