That's a false dichotomy. I'm happy that you enjoy and are passionate about your chosen profession. I would be happier if the root of that passion came from helping people from getting screwed over by a broken, ludicrously complicated system that's often devoid of common sense. I know you weren't saying this, but it came off like "Isn't it amazing? Due to a technicality and an out-of-date precedent set 60 years ago, you'll be spending the next five years in prison despite your innocence. What a knee-slapper! I love this job!"
Most people, other than attorney's apparently, aren't having fun when they are in court. It's often gravely serious. I don't want to be jerk to you or anyone. I just think it was a little insensitive to call it fun.
