| | | I've long been captivated by the notion of justice, which first manifested itself as a love for the superhero genre. This initially led me to try journalism, but I wanted more than objective reporting. From law school, I want to learn how to recognize for myself the better ideas and arguments -- how to recognize justice -- and then to make those arguments effectively. I've made a few ill-thought-out policy/managerial decisions in past activities, and I don't ever want to push for a wrong side again (it's like Superman fighting for Lex Luthor!). I see law as a tool, and I want to fight for the sides I come to believe are right after thoughtful thinking. On a more personal level, the (in)equality of access to our legal system is one issue I'd like to think more about; my dad manages a small business and often laments about the crippling legal fees that come with the inevitable legal difficulties.

< | [still editing] A bunch of reasons combined to point me in the direction of law. Ever since I was little, I’ve been captivated by the notion of justice (as a child, I loved the superhero genre, for example), which initially led me to try journalism. My college Freedom of Speech and Press class had a significant impact on me (and I also discovered then that I actually enjoyed reading cases). More personally, my dad’s a small business owner who has had his fair share of legal difficulties and often complains of crippling legal costs. I felt that law was one way I could meet my full potential: good arguments and good legal analysis will win out over weaker ones. Thus, while I’m here, I want to learn how to make effective legal arguments to achieve that potential. I want to learn the policy and philosophies underlying “good laws” so that I can recognize justice and strive to achieve it. | >
