Many times Lawyers do work without being paid.
Here, they search for FOUR Type of Pay Offs from such unpaid work.
1) Will I feel sense of achievement by doing this work?
2) Will I feel more connected with people if I do this work?
3) Will I receive some kind of Recognisition if I do this work?
4) Will I learn something new if I do this work?
If answer of any of these four question comes in YES, then they often feel rewarded even if they are not paid.
Many years ago, I still remember, this talk. Outside Court No.3 in Supreme Court, a senior advocate criticised me for doing many cases where either no fees were paid or if fees were paid, they were too low..
I merely smiled in reply.
After some months, Chambers were alloted. I got a chamber as I had done many cases. But that Senior Advocate was denied Chamber on ground that his cases were few.
There is a Law of Compensation in Universe.
The point is : Even when a lawyer does a work without being paid, he does get some sort of pay off.
