Quote by Washington Irving
Young lawyers attend the courts, not because they have business there, but because they have no business.
Summary
This quote implies that young lawyers often have a lack of clients or cases to work on, so they find themselves in the courts not out of necessity or purpose but due to a lack of other work. It suggests that these lawyers are attempting to gain experience or exposure by observing court proceedings when they do not have any of their own cases to handle. This quote highlights the challenges faced by young lawyers in establishing themselves in the legal profession and the importance of building a clientele to sustain their practice.
