I'd love to see you do some stories on the books (or movies or TV shows) that have moved you. In my experience, lawyers are excellent reviewers because they intuitively get the idea that in every review you have to make the case for or against the book (or for why your views are mixed).

The Pub could be a good home for some reviews, but their are lots of others too, including In the Library (reviews and commentary of any length); The Book Cafe (reviews of four minutes or more); or Books Are Our Superpower (recommendations only). If reviews interest you, you might want to apply as a writer to any of those so you can choose the best fit when you do one.

Here's one I did that might inspire you about Gideon's Trumpet:
