Power

Though you'll never have as much power as a judge, there's certainly a lot of power to be had as a trial attorney. Your clients trust you as the best possible person to take the facts of their case and present them to a judge or jury. And they trust that you'll receive a good outcome for them. So, yeah, they're giving you a lot of power.

In civil law cases, there can be a lot of money at stake. And even when there isn't a lot of scrilla at issue, people who are suing are usually highly emotional. And you're the person they trust to make it right. And if you're dealing with a criminal case….yeesh, forget it. If you're a prosecutor, you're typically trying to take away someone's freedom. And if you're a defense attorney, you're typically trying to protect someone's freedom.

So yeah, you're definitely like the sixth Power Ranger. Or at least like the fifth Beatle.
