I do a lot of consumer protection defense, so more than FCRA. But a typical day can be pretty rote: answering complaints, drafting discovery, and often just trying to work the other side down to a reasonable settlement. I wouldn’t count on a whole lot of in court experience.

I read everything there is to read on what to do/not do/eat/not eat… My previous experiences have removed any kind of “innocent excitement” I had. Does it ever come back?
