Article Abstract:
Many attorneys find sled dog racing, or mushing, to be a satisfying break from their practices. Though most mushing is done in Alaska and other northern states, some enthusiasts can be found in warmer climates. Alaska attorney Myron Angstman has participated in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and trains dogs in addition to practicing law. California attorney Lucy Bettis trains her dogs with a wheeled cart and participates in sprint races. For Denver lawyer John Phillips, spending time with the dogs, not racing, is what makes the sport enjoyable.

Article Abstract:
Artistic attorneys may find painting or sculpture to be important creative outlets and diversions from the legal world. Attorneys may find such self-expression relaxing, but art can also help lawyers view their approaches to legal issues in a different light. Bar associations may organize exhibitions for attorney-artists. Several of these lawyer-artists are profiled, including painters and a lawyer who makes assemblage sculptures.
