In fact most really good lawyers deliberately take pro bono cases to expose them to legal thinking they might not otherwise encounter. Solving problems and applying your expertise to things you wouldn’t normally trip over is a great way to enhance what you are doing day to day.

And that’s why people volunteer to do stuff that might not seem “worth it” - because if you’re an expert in something you can always learn more by looking at it through a different lens.

This, obviously, is aimed at the upstream comment not yours!
