Mark Bennett dropped me a line today, welcoming me to the the land of blogs and positing in the comments, “There are several other Mac-using criminal defense lawyers out there. I think it’s because criminal defense, done properly, is a creative endeavor.”
I agree with Mark and it is incredibly apropos statement. When I first moved into my new office, I mentioned to the IT person I would not need much help setting up or maintaining my computer, “I use a Mac.”
He cocked his head and said, “You are an attorney.”
“Yes?” I replied.
“I thought Mac’s were for creative-artsy-types.”
I didn’t have much of a response. “I guess so…lawyers like them also.”
Really, criminal defense is a creative endeavor. And frankly, I am a very creative criminal defense lawyer (not really “artsy” per se). I don’t know if it is the exact reason I chose a Mac. But it is pretty cool not to need any help from the IT guy.
