Personal Intro

I enrolled in law school after being a teacher for five years—an avocation I loved (and one at which I was talented), but a profession I despised. I want to get, and have gotten, from law school something for which law school is sufficient but not necessary: An exodus from education.

That for which law school is likely necessary and hopefully sufficient: I want to get the ability to conscript the law—that is, to work with and within it to achieve desirable outcomes for myself individually and for society at large in relation to my values.
