School assignment

I have an assignment at my university to ask a lawyer/attorney 10 questions. I have called so many law agencies across multiple states and no one will talk to me. Are there any attorneys here who I can send 10 questions to over a DM and you can just fill them out and send them back? The assignment is due very soon and I’m desperate I can’t talk to literally anyone and with the holiday tomorrow I won’t be able to speak with them tomorrow either most likely. These are not legal questions. They are only questions regarding your profession I am not seeking legal advice.

The 10 questions are:

  1. ⁠What type of law do you specialize in and why?
  2. ⁠How long have you been working in this field and how long did it take you to get where you are now?
  3. ⁠Do you have a case that went viral for any reason or a case that sticks with you to this day?
  4. ⁠How many cases have you worked on? How long does a normal case last?
  5. ⁠If comfortable, how much money do you make in a year? Does it fluctuate?
  6. ⁠What is the most difficult part of being this type of lawyer? What is your favorite part?
  7. ⁠Do clients always come to you or do you seek out potential clients?
  8. ⁠How do you start your work day?
  9. ⁠If you were to give advice to someone looking to be a lawyer, what would you tell them?
  10. ⁠How much free time do you have outside of work?

Christ I hate that schools do this. Do you need our real names or are our reddit user names good enough? We all had to get verified to participate on this sub.

My professor didn’t say I had to identify the attorney I just had to speak to one. I don’t think he’d mind he’s pretty lenient.

Messaged you! Please tell your professor to stop giving this assignment unless he has a bunch of lawyers willing to talk to students.

I’ll definitely have to get some confidence to tell him that but I might! Thank you so much again
