Working as a criminal defense solo practitioner can be challenging work. But Mahmoud Rabah has had the additional challenge this month of handling a full caseload while fasting for more than 15 hours a day and catching a few hours of broken sleep as he honors the traditions of Ramadan.
“As a litigator, I can say it is very difficult to work out case scheduling and trials around a month of fasting,” he told the Law journal. “It’s a very long day. It’s incredibly hard as a solo practitioner to have to keep working, and you don’t have anyone to fall back on. But you get into a rhythm and are able to cope with the rigors of what your job requires.”
