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. (edited 7 Feb 2008) | | | 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?

< | 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. | >
