A thread to vent toxicity about litigation (or law generally) when you've had a bad day

[TheBadLawyer]

One of the things that just starts to grind you down about this field of work is the general level of assholism you have to deal with. When it comes from clients, it's somewhat more expected and tolerable (it helps that many of my clients have the excuse of FASD and objectively sad lives) than when it comes from others. It's no one thing, but it does feel like death by a thousand cuts - an asshole judge who thinks his position entitles him to torment people for his own amusement, a smug Crown who takes unreasonable positions and is a condescending ass while doing so, etc. God, this fucking job...
