My husband is a lawyer
Yeah? So he practices law as a paralegal or barrister or attorney? Has he been doing it long?
No he just started as a attorney in private practice
Interesting. It must be challenging to piratically apply abstract legal theories. You have to be able to think on your feet. 
He is very smart and went to college for several years then had to pass the bar
Wow. The role of a lawyer varies a lot over different jurisdictions. Do you know if he is able to practice is other communities close by?
