Oakleaf-I'm not even sure of the legal area i'd want to end up working in. A quick thought here..Industrial Relations or dealing with Environmental issues. I don't want to deal with clients directly as i'm not interested. You did mention -spending a lot of time in government offices interacting with the same officials regularly, or by yourself in the library/at the computer. I'd be much happier working by myself

Ah, you worked in Workers Compensation! That's an idea..

I'm still doing searches on Seek regarding these types of positions.

I need to sit down & do some more thinking..
