1Lawyering. You don’t actually do a lot of lawyering as a lawyer in a big firm, so hobbying as a lawyer is often a great way to get some genuine practice experience. Most hobbying lawyers hang out and meet clients at coffee shops, so scope out a local Starbuck’s for your hobbying headquarters. While you may think you are moonlighting, it’s technically not moonlighting if you hobby as a lawyer during regular business hours. Even if you do not get any real clients, it’s acceptable to say that you are heading out “to do some lawyering,” or, if pressed about your work at a cocktail party, to exclaim loudly that “yeah, I have to get off a will to one of my hobbying clients next week—that and a quick uncontested divorce.”
