To make a music analogy, if you wanted to listen to all American jazz music, then you probably would have a decent chance of being able to do so. Even if you couldn't listen to all of it, you'd be able to listen to a huge chunk. However, if you wanted to listen to all music ever made, you'd never be able to even make a dent. The same is true for law. If you are focused in one area, then you can read all of the research and keep up-to-date on new decisions and developments. But the more specialties you try to cover, the less research you'll be able to do in each and the less you'll know about current practices and the best ways to help your clients.
