>		I came to law school because, like most people, I struggle in the post-industrial U.S. economy. I want to do something about it, for myself, my family, and others who struggle. I want to know how to use law to make this country a better place for us, for as long as this country's law exists.

<		I came to law school because I identify with people who struggle in the contemporary economic order, and I want to know how to make this country a better place for them. Before coming here, I began a doctoral program in political science and read a great deal of theory on the subject. This was very useful to me personally, but it soon became painfully obvious that greater theoretical sophistication isn't what is needed. What is needed are people with deep, practical knowledge of our dominant power structures and how to navigate them, combined with a will to do justice.

>		Before coming here, I worked in technical services at a software company and did a few years of a doctoral program in political science. That was fun, but it soon became obvious that people with theoretical sophistication in the social sciences won't necessarily help people like us. Who will help us are people with deep, practical knowledge of what moves society and a will to do justice. I want to be that kind of person.
