For all the hype about Orange County in recent television shows, in films and in music, the practice of law is still very much the same as anywhere else. Someone working in a law office anywhere will have the same challenges every other lawyer will face, but there are certain benefits to living in a sunny climate. Most anyone can see the appeal of living close to the ocean, as nearly one-third of the planet lives about an hour or so from a shoreline.

Because of the relatively high wealth in the area, some of the more subtle things will be different however. It’s certainly true that a population with economic advantages will have different ways of looking at the law in general. However, the subtle differences don’t add up to anything particularly unusual. There is some access to information that other lawyers might not have, and the Orange County Public Law LIbrary is an excellent collection, suggesting some of the advantages of living here. But it’s also true that an Orange County law office will have an extensive collection of its own.

The challenges of law in Orange County are the same challenges that exist elsewhere. The advantages here are an excellent location, and a great local population that can make the leisure hours more pleasurable, but resourceful lawyers can always find a reasonable place to relax and enjoy the moments away from the office.
