This book is not a manual for the practice of law, nor a guide to passing exams, nor an instruction on how to argue a case. It is a philosophical exploration of what it means to consider entering a profession built on language, conflict, interpretation, and power. Written by Boris Kriger - a thinker, writer, and observer of systems rather than a lawyer - it examines the psychological, ethical, and existential weight of choosing a life in law at a moment when the profession is being reshaped by artificial intelligence, economic pressures, and cultural upheaval.Through reflections on justice, human motivation, institutional imperfection, and the emerging partnership between human judgment and machine reasoning, the book invites the reader to step beyond the myths of the noble advocate and confront the real demands of legal life. It asks what happens to a person who becomes a custodian of other people's crises, who lives among rules yet is constantly forced to interpret them, who must think clearly while the world around them grows increasingly uncertain.Rather than giving answers, the text opens a space for clarity. It offers insight into the psychological transformations law can impose, the temptations it creates, the freedoms it restricts, and the forms of meaning it unexpectedly reveals. It encourages the reader to question not only whether they should become a lawyer, but what kind of human being they wish to remain while navigating a profession increasingly intertwined with algorithms whose logic is both precise and indifferent.A book for those standing at the threshold of the legal world, for those already within it, and for anyone seeking to understand how institutions shape the people who serve them.
