Empathy and Professionalism in Family Law
When you're confronted with a judgment like that, how do you cope? Because i imagine in some respects, doing what you do is a bit like being a therapist. How do you di id the empathy from the professionalism? Or perhaps you don't? What you have to try and be particularly if, as i was for five and a half years, you're a family judge dealing with family problems. I think this is why doctors and lawyers do understand one another pretty well - because we all have that same necessity to combine empathy and professionalism. You just have to learn to do it.
