How is Scout's life enriched by her father's involvement in the law?Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird

There is little doubt that Atticus's expertise in the law
influences his parenting of Scout and Jem.  Certainly, his philosophy of considering
things from another's point of view stems from his lawyer's comprehension of the
importance of understanding the motivations of others, as does his impartial treatment
of others, be they poor or rich.  Scout cannot miss the equity with which he deals with
the Cunninghams, Miss Dubose, and others.  His sense of fairness clearly is conveyed to
Scout when she overhears her father discusses the upcoming trial of Tom Robinson when
Atticus says he cannot face his children if he does not take the
case:

I hope
and pray I can get Jem and Scout through it without bitterness, and most of all, without
catching Maycomb's usual
disease. 

In
addition to learning from Atticus's exemplary behavior as a just man such as how he
never raises his voice to any witness, Scout is also exposed to conversations dealing
with legal matters, court cases, and so on.  For instance, little Scout speaks to Mr.
Cunningham of "entailment" when she intervenes at the jailhouse where the men hostilely
surround her father; having overheard Atticus and Mr. Cunningham's discussions, she
thinks this an appropriate topic without fully understanding the meaning of the
term. 

Of course, Scout becomes interested in legal matters
from this exposure and avidly follows the trial of Tom Robinson.  Several times in her
narration of Tom's trial, she alludes to things she has learned from Atticus regarding
witnesses:

Never, never, never, on cross-examination ask a
witness a question you don't already know the answer to, was a tenet I absorbed with my
baby-food.

And, throughout
the trial Scout provides not only narration, but analyses based upon her observations. 
For instance, as she listens to the interrogations of Mr. Gilmer and of Atticus, she
observes,

Slowly but surely I began to see the pattern of
Atticus's questions:  from questions that Mr. Gilmer did not deem sufficiently
irrelevant or immaterial to object to, Atticus was quietly building up before the jury a
picture of the Ewells'
homelife.

Clearly, from her
father's involvement in the law, Scout's experiences are broader than if she were raised
by a man of some other profession, such as an accountant, for example.  For, she
witnesses the interplay of society through her vicarious experiences, and she learns to
think analytically as her lawyer father leads her to seek truth and understanding in the
manner in which he himself does.
