Cool that you copy edit a bar journal... my best friend is an editor of ours and loves it.

That's what I figure - I'll get all the legal reading I can handle in a month or so.
It is a cool job (part of my position working in communications) - I stick to the grammatical editing, but I've learned a lot from our Board of Editors (made up of attorneys in the community). I've also been able to sit in on a bunch of interesting meetings on things such as emminent domain, attorney-client privilege, and statute of limitations in sexual abuse cases (a big topic here in MA). It hasn't made me an expert, by any stretch, but it's really interesting, and it has helped hone my writing and editing skills even further.
