Gift in this case is not some skill she has but an opportunity that life has given her.
This whole article is about it...a gift that life has given to HER. An opportunity as a new lawyer to sit in court at the desk with two excellent lawyers in a very famous trial. An opportunity to learn from two masterful and victorious defenders.
An opportunity to provide valuable support in such a trial and to continue to work with O'Mara as an associate as his career takes off...and to share in O'Mara's cases as they become more high profile and potentially more complex and certainly more important.
So then working without being paid is O’Mara’s gift to her???
How does she pay her bills??? or are those gifts as well???
