Hello,I work as a lawyer. What do you do?
I do not work as a lawyer, but I know a little bit about the work as I have several lawyers in my family.  Which act of law do you perform?  Paralegal?  Advocate?  Barrister?  Attorney?  Counselor?  Solicitor?  Chartered Legal Executive?
Yes it runs in my family as well,but several as Barrister as well as myself.
Since barristers are known as "legal scholars," would you characterize yourself that way?  I am amazed at how much law some have learned; both the strengths of the law, as well as its limitations.  
I would like to think I am,but who am I to decide? I enjoy how much law has changed and continues to do so. There are always new things to learn!
