personal injury law is an area of law in which a civil lawyer might practice.
shareI think the better question is, did anyone want to quit being a lawyer after seeing this?

Somewhat ... but real-life lawyers actually don't like in glamour and excitement, as this movie would have you believe. Trials, negotiations, and investigations, for example, is extremely rare and occupies a small role in the work of a lawyer.
Movies that sensationalize the legal profession, like "A Civil Action," is partly the cause of American's current oversupply of lawyers. Law-school right now is a bad idea for that reason.
