Bad Alias:
I doubt Mab became a lawyer in Red Court territory just so she can say "I'm a lawyer." Especially since Jim says she finds it useful to be able to walk into a courtroom. This implies that she's a lawyer everywhere she has significant interests.
Arjan:
Apparently she finds it useful to have one or more human identities to make functioning outside the nevernever go more smoothly. Things like buying and holding real estate and influencing politicians. Owning a law firms in some countries would be useful in the same way as the white court holding the porn industry and the red court had a lot of the criminal underworld. They all pick part of the human world they have some affinity with.

That is why I mentioned that I don't think my country has any requirement to mantain the status. Once you got your license, you are a lawyer for ever (or at least I believe so. Dad was a lawyer and I don't remember him talking any mandatory classes)

My best friend's husband is a lawyer, I think it depends on the type of law one practices. In some areas the laws change more frequently than others.. However as far as I know he might take a week or a weekend once a year to get caught up on them, not much time when one is immortal.. As a practicing lawyer, he already knows the law, reading and understanding the fine points of a new law or change shouldn't take all that long.

My country (which may or may be not be Red Court territory in JB world) was only an example. Perhaps Europe has another rules too. I won't be surprised if Mab has a British identity, so Shakesperean.

I think the main point is Mab thinks like a very good lawyer, that is why it is so dangerous to try and bargain with her. Even if one is experienced such as Harry at it, he only really bested her once and he would have failed at that had it not been for Uriel's seven words. I also think if she believes some issue, person, or thing in mortal court is vital to her cause and plans she'd do what
she needed to do to make herself current and take it up herself. Let's not forget that time lines in our world and the Nevernever are different, so what may seem like wasting time to us looking at it from our perspective may be totally different from hers.. So if it is important enough, she'd never see it as a waste of time.
