Abby,

As an attorney, I hope what I share may offer you some relief. I have been practicing for two years now -- I am in an area of law, employee benefits, and have only met with clients a couple of times in person, and that with a much seasoned lawyer present, have only talked on the phone with clients a dozen times, and that on issues that I was well versed in.

I share this, because the area of law you go into, the firm, agency, etc., you practice at, and so forth, will determine you exposure to clients. When you finally do meet with a client, you will be ready. No young attorney, fresh out of law school, is ready to practice law - you will need mentoring. Some areas of law, like mine, take a couple of years to really ramp up to a level to have any significant client contact. Others, come much easier.

I hope this can give you a little relief of the anxiety about your future career. It has only been two years since I was in law school -- I have not forgotten the stress that it alone brings into ones life.

I was not present on this board before when you were here. But I am glad you are here -- if for no other reason, than I won't be the only one here to put up with the snide lawyer comments from kazoo. < grin >

However, I do want to end on a serious note. I hope that in returning, we are able to bring you some comfort that you are needing. Cyber hugs can be so inadequate. But know I am sending you one.

Your resident hounddog.
