I was a certified paralegal early in my life and was talking to a very high-powered family law attorney in Houston. He told me that his speciality brought the highest hourly fee (it was in the $600/hr and this was in the '80s) because it dealt almost exclusively in emotion, i.e., custody of children and division of property and cash. People will pay almost anything to put it to the other spouse.

I guess we have finally found another purely emotional specialty to enrich the lawyers.
