I feel dumb asking this question (like I should have asked it before coming to law school) -- Can anyone recommend good resources to learn about what lawyers do in different fields and organizations -- what the tasks are, what the challenges are, what the downsides are? do you look at blogs? has Columbia subscribed us to stuff?

Group. I'm not sure if there is an updated edition, but I am sure there are more books out there like this one.

Or is the answer to line up some informational interviews.

I had hoped to get some notion of "what lawyers do" from my summer job, but it's a tiny advocacy joint with two lawyers doing non-legal stuff ... and they're not very talkative, either.
