Is there such thing as a work life balance as a midlevel lawyer.

Is there such thing as a work life balance as a midlevel lawyer. Yes, I work for the government. No, that doesn't mean I don't work hard or always in person controlled by a docket.

Does anyone know how to perhaps find a nontraditional role - something like editing Lexis articles?

    I’ve been a lawyer for 20 years and have been chasing that rainbow for years. You basically get work life balance at government and corporate (some). Editing, doc review etc all pay $25-35 an hour so less than a paralegal. You may find a unicorn firm somewhere but unfortunately the name of the law game is work, work, work.

    I read this as medieval lawyer and thought, hmmm... no balance. ?
