not an attorney, but a law librarian that worked in the county courthouse for 5 years. dealing with DV and everything associated with it was one of the main reasons for my burnout. ESPECIALLY seeing the same people over and over and each partner continually trying to "outdo" the other.
It made it really hard (for *me*) to be appropriately sensitive after a certain point. colleagues l lovingly joke that law school students are demanding... i say piece of cake compared to john q. public!
