I am a younger lawyer, and I noticed many of the older lawyers aren’t retiring and are still practicing in their 70s and 80s. Is that unusual?
The practice of law is really a way of life. Very few lawyers actually retire unless they are with a big corporation or big firm where they are forced to. Most lawyers want to die in their boots. Most lawyers enjoy the courtroom and the practice and helping people and will continue to do it as long as they can.
