Sir Frank Lockwood (1846-1897) was a famous English lawyer and Liberal Party politician. He was educated at a private school, at Manchester Grammar School, and Caius College, Cambridge. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1872. In 1882 he was made a queen's counsel, in 1884 he was made recorder of Sheffield, and in 1894 he became solicitor-general in Lord Rosebery's ministry, and was knighted, having first entered parliament as Liberal member for York in 1885, after two unsuccessful attempts, the one at King's Lynn in 1880, the other at York in 1883. He was solicitor-general for less than a year. In 1896 Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, Mr. Montague Crackanthorpe and Sir Frank Lockwood went to the United States to attend, as specially invited representatives of the English bar, the nineteenth meeting of the American Bar Association. On this trip Sir Frank Lockwood sustained the reputation which he enjoyed in England as a humourous afterdinner speaker, and helped to strengthen the bond of friendship which unites the bench and bar of the United States with the bench and bar of England.

Yet another heavy handed biglaw misery loves company book. I don't know who enjoys these other than current and former biglaw sufferers, but enjoy it I did. This was like reading about my life.
"Caring about anything else just makes you an unhappy lawyer. A self-hating lawyer, which lots of us are. There's an incredible amount of denial. 'Oh, I'm a lawyer, but my real passion is the opera.' It's like the waiters who tell you they're actors or writers. But with them, it's temporary. Some of them make it; the rest grow up and go on to something else. Not lawyers. For lawyers, it's just 'Oh, look, I collect model sailing ships.' It's 'Check out these autographed baseballs.' People cultivate eccentricities to remind themselves that once upon a time they wanted to be something else, to persuade themselves that they still are. It doesn't work."
"And they're too fucking smart, never spend enough time on anything. Associates like that make the client unhappy with everyone else - he wants to know why this brief is costing him three times what the bright boy did the last one for. Smart, efficient people aren't meant for law firms; they just make the rest of us look bad."
