Lawyer-Writers Explore Their Creative Interests
Novelist David Fulmer says the fiction writing class he has taught in Decatur, Ga., for the past four years has drawn all types of people, but one group stands out: lawyers. "I never went looking for lawyers, but I've had at least one attorney in almost every class," says Fulmer. "If you have the creative gene -- whatever it is, a germ perhaps -- eventually you have to address it," says civil litigator Cynthia L. Tolbert, one of the lawyers who has taken Fulmer's class.
