Lawyers work very hard. Most lawyers don't have "cases" per se (or at least the type of cases you see on TV). The truth is, most lawyers never see the inside of a courtroom. Those jobs are reserved for a specific set of lawyers called "Litigators" or part of a "Litigation Team".
It is extremely difficult to litigate a case. Many lawyers will work 14-16 hours per day preparing to go to court for as long as it takes them to be ready. When you go into litigation, you don't only care about what you are doing, you need to care about what the opposing counsel is doing. So, in essence, you prepare and break down the case you are working on from both sides of the issue.
Being a lawyer is really hard work from a mental standpoint...you need to critically assess issues and present them in a way that will help your side win. And, if you lose, the person you are representing is usually standing to lose something important. In criminal law, it would be freedom. In business law, it would be money. In family law, it could be custody of your kids.
I guess that's a really long way of saying yes, lawyers work hard.
And closed circuit to YNOT, there is a reason things are called movies....because they are a fantasy version of the truth. |

Good lawyers work hard. Nothing is improvised - everything is planned. Any good lawyer will tell you: never ask a question in court you don't already know the answer to. |

Being a lawyer isn't about hard labor, its more being focused mentally, they have to do a lot of research. Also, they have to try to outwit their opposition. At some point something will happen in court where they have to improvise, and a good lawyer can. |

They work very hard at hitting the time clock so they can charge you their exorbitant rates. Typically a law clerk or junior partner does all the detail work but it is billed at your lawyers exorbitant rates.
