| | | I see the courtroom as a place where folks who usually lose can win. Whether it means banding together to create justice (class actions, mass torts, etc.) or standing up to an oppressive regime (civil rights, criminal defense, etc.), legal victories can be human victories. I am interested in facilitating those victories. This summer I will be working at Bronx Defenders where I hope to both keep people out of jail and determine if this is the right path for me.

Adam, I think it's worth thinking about whether it's plausible that Hillary Clinton, running against a JFK-type (i.e., a white male with JFK-like credentials) would have been able to tout her experience as a positive. You hint at this in your "Hole in argument #1," but I'm not sure that the fact that youth hasn't been a detriment to presidential candidacies necessarily means that people actually believe it is not a detriment, at lease at the beginning and middle stages of a candidacy. Perhaps Hillary wants to prevent the electorate from making the leap that it was able to make for Kennedy and Bill? Do you think Hillary is creating an issue, or emphasizing (and perhaps distorting) an issue that's already there?

Hey Adam - How do you create a "new topic" underneath your user bin, as you did?
-- JesseCreed - 08 Feb 2008
Use the "edit" function on the user bin page (top right). Then scroll down to where Eben has left you some bullets (they look like three spaces followed by a "*") and add a WikiWord? of your choosing as the title for the page. Click save and then you can go back to the user bin page and click on the ? next to the WikiWord? that you created in order to access the new page. Hopefully this was helpful.

< | I am interested in the law because I see it as an opportunity for folks who usually lose to win. I am most drawn to the areas of law where groups of people who have been wronged can band together to create justice (class actions, mass torts, etc.) and where individuals who are generally the most trodded upon can stick it to those who try and tread upon them (civil rights, criminal defense, etc.). Where that leaves me this summer and next and the many summers afterwards, I am unsure. | >
