insolvency law is unbearable; it is also a mandatory part of the bar exams, and is giving me much grief. it is not that each branch of law is not useful in its own right, or that it isn’t befitting one to when starting out arm oneself with generalist knowledge of most of the major areas of practical lawyering. just that lawyering is (like academia) very much field-stratified these days and this sort of thing is practically always better handled by big firms with specialist insolvency and restructuring departments with knowledge of corporate enterprises and experience working with accounting firms. but i slog on.
