"Many times in my careers, lawyers suggest working through lunch to complete depositions. In some circumstances, this makes sense. If lawyers are in a remote location, it may be necessary to prioritize the task at hand over personal needs."
"I ended up needing to procure lunch from a vending machine in the courthouse, which was not an ideal situation. This is a real shame since one of my favorite fast-food chains was located a few hundred feet from the courthouse."
Lawyers and legal professionals often face long hours and tight deadlines, leading to situations where they work through lunch. While emergencies may necessitate this, most cases do not warrant skipping breaks. A personal experience illustrates the issue, where waiting for a judge resulted in a long delay without the opportunity for a proper meal. The importance of lunch breaks is emphasized, as they contribute to better performance and overall well-being in the legal profession.
