Let me say something that laypeople probably don't realize.
If you closely watch any legal proceeding, a trial, a hearing, etc. as we're doing to these things, it's a whipsaw, even for the lawyers participating. And having a rooting interest in the outcome makes it that much worse.
Lawyers trying a case have to listen to the other side, almost uninterrupted, for hours and days. it can kind of beat you down and you feel like you're losing, Then you get your turn, and it's quite the opposite. Euphoric. We just fucking kicked their ass. The truth lies somewhere in the middle, and hopefully closer to your view than not.
It's a very bipolar experience, except maybe in something like the Alex Jones trials. Those kind of nonstop asswhippings of the opponent are rare. Even when the "opponent" is a clear piece of shit, like Alex Jones, it's a really special case where they fuck it up that bad.
So, it's up, it's down, it's a lot of "woohoo" and "aw fuck." Winning and losing battles before you win the war. And so many times, the win comes in a way you never originally envisioned and might momentarily want to call a loss or a Pyrrhic victory.
So, as a lawyer, you learn not to get too wrapped up in the little victories and setbacks along the way and keep moving toward the end goal.
