You even get some neighbors you can work with to really screw up the family. It sounds sick, but after about five minutes with these mean little critters, you'll be trying to hit 'em. Another single entry that made me laugh came courtesy of Jody Nathan, a Tulsa, Oklahoma, attorney. The goal is to buy low and sell high, making as much money as possible in 30 days, and avoid being arrested. After plowing through piles of responses and explanations, and listening to and reading anecdotal evidence from lawyer after lawyer, one thing is clear about the games lawyers and their staff play.
Games involve more than just questions of productivity or entertainment.
For many lawyers, they are essential parts of a healthy approach to dealing with the inherent stresses of the profession. The games lawyers choose generally involve some sort of mental strategy exercise, be it simple or complex. The remainder, for the most part, involve variations on blowing things up while trying to avoid getting blown up in return. In other words, for these lawyers, computer games are the mental equivalent of the range of physical exercise from simple, peaceful yoga or tai chi to boxing and jujitsu. The same way people get more energy by exercising regularly.
