I've been practicing for about 6 years now. The most interesting case? I've had more than a few. My senior partner handles most of the "big" cases, but I did settle a case against the State of California for over 200 thousand in a case that my senior partner gave me because he didn't think it would go anywhere.

Most interesting? Well, back when I was a paralegal and still in lawschool, I worked for a firm that defended physicians in board disciplinary actions. Apparently, this one brain surgeon had fantasies of women tying him up and throwing cake at him. His wife wasn't into it, so he solicited women and paid them for it. Unfortunately, it became an addiction, and he solicited a minor friend of a patient. She took the hundred bucks, tied him up and threw cake at him, then later turned him in.

Many other interesting cases, but no time right now. I'll post more later.
