2. Clients must be involved in lawyers' lives as much as lawyers are involved in clients' for the lawyer-client relationship to be reciprocal, and this quality does not appear in Shaffer and Cochran's stories about lawyers. They assert their belief in the importance of reciprocity, see Shaffer, supra note 15;To see friendship as defined by moral critique rather than mutuality and reciprocity is perhaps Shaffer and Cochran's most questionable view
3. Shaffer, supra note 15, at 627-630 (Fanny Holtzman story), at 633-637, 650-651 (Jerry Kennedy story), but this is not typical of lawyer-client relationships generally. It is not surprising that lawyers and clients could become friends. Working together, under stress, on important matters, for extended periods of time, are the kinds of conditions in which friendships can form, but it is not inevitable that this will happen. Conversations with psychotherapists, tax planners, and spiritual advisors, for example, are usually about important matters, often are stressful, and can go on for extended periods of time;Many of Shaffer and Cochran's stories involve lawyers and clients who were friends before they were lawyers and clients, or who have relationships outside of work
