I’ve always been deeply intrigued by the legal industry - first, because of its complexity, and second, because of its elusive nature. A close friend of mine, now a highly respected physician in England, once said, “Any field that doesn’t deal with numbers is just a place where students learn to push the clouds.” He was referring to disciplines like law - where success is not always quantifiable, and outcomes can be more philosophical than scientific.
