Attorneys tend to dabble in employment law. Dabbling is not really practicing, but it doesn't mean one can't bill for it. This dabbling is usually not by design but by necessity. A client calls on a Friday afternoon because they can't reach their employment lawyer and asks you if they can fire a 70-year-old employee with 45 years' tenure, or your nephew calls because he just lost his job and wants to know if he can sue. While experienced employment attorneys know the answer to both questions is "no," those who dabble may not know.
