Law School? A Reality Check…

I went to law school. I loved all three years of it. Since then, I’ve had an interesting and fulfilling career: I practiced both human rights law and commercial law, clerked in federal court, taught law courses as an adjunct, and now spend my days writing about fascinating policy issues, many of which are law-related.

And why they are surprised when, instead, my response is “Probably not — unless you’re really sure you want to be a lawyer.”
