During his undergraduate studies, Mark learned that according to the "Holmes and Rahe stress scale", the most stressful life events are: death of a spouse; divorce; marital separation, and imprisonment. During this time, Mark also attended Court which he immediately understood was a place where important decisions were made. It quickly became clear to Mark that he would practice family and criminal law.
