A lawyer starts life giving $500 worth of law for $5 and end

Summary

This quote humorously illustrates the common perception of lawyers' professional trajectory. The explanation suggests that lawyers begin their careers with a lot of enthusiasm and offer substantial legal services for a low fee, symbolized by providing $500 worth of law for only $5. However, as they gain experience and raise their rates, the quality and value of their work may potentially diminish over time. Thus, it highlights the idea that lawyers may start as vigorous advocates but may eventually become less efficient or provide less effective counsel as their fees increase.

Along with 500 miles of shelved books, her closest friendships are cataloged in that library. They are as much the value of work to my mom as is the work itself.
