Like many an overworked trial lawyer, Brad Butwin rarely eats dinner with his family. As the chair of O’Melveny & Myers’s New York litigation department, Butwin typically returns to his Long Island home at 8:30 p.m. — on a good day. By then, his wife and four children — whose schedules are even more hectic than his — have long since dispersed from the kitchen. For Butwin, takeout and leftovers are de rigueur.

this guy's been practising for over 20 years, the chair of a department with hundreds of underlings and peons at his disposal and he can't rig his personal life to a minimum level of quality such that he can spend 30 minutes a night several nights a week at the dinner table with his kids. Or he doesn't want to.

Law sucks. You lawyers all suck. Fuck all of you!!!.......I feel like taking the safety off the 9er in my desk. Merde.

He makes time for pie.
