I recently read this book and found it a little confusing. I mean after all that studying through all those ivy leagues, why did she agree to leave it all?

They both are no longer allowed to practice law, not even pro-bono as they voluntarily gave up their licenses. You can confirm at https://www.iardc.org/ldetail.asp?id=....

After reading Becoming, I better understand why Mrs. Obama no longer chose to practice corporate law; she no longer found it fulfilling. Though working for non-profit organizations was not as financially rewarding, the other rewards that Mrs. Obama received from working in that capacity was more fulfilling.
