What inspired you to go to law school?

Question

Of course, students don't go to law school for the same reasons. Some are interested in politics, while others are interested in other types of law, such as entertainment.

Answer 1

Mine was a little odd. First of all, I wanted to learn legal reasoning as another way of solving problems (it is great for that). Secondly, I was an employer who hired a number of attorneys, and I needed to understand what constituted quality work in their field. Finally, I had been doing a lot of volunteer work with teens whose problems often seemed to put them into the legal system, and I wanted to be helpful. I'm now a member of the Bar, but I don't practice for a living, although I do use my knowledge in volunteer work, and I find that I use the information I gained at work all the time.
