The Misery of Knowing That One Is Doing Harm as a Lawyer

from The Former Lawyer Podcast · host Sarah Cottrell

In today’s episode, Sarah is back again with Annie Little discussing the book Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber. The final misery covered in the book is the misery based on knowing that one is doing harm. The most obvious example of this as lawyers would be representing a person or entity, and they are asking you to do something that is itself harmful. While these situations may arise, people tend to be aware and can deal with the moral conflict.
