Personal Introduction
-- By RasheedAhmed - 29 Jan 2015 | |
<
< | I came to law school to develop a creative and innovative way of interpreting the law. My experiences in my life have given me an appreciation for the law that I believe is unique. I was born in a country that was deemed “lawless”. I saw the effects it can have on an entire generation. What drove me to law school is the goal to understand how and why the system of law’s in United States functions successfully. In turn, I hope to apply what I have learned in law school to my native country, Somalia.
But law is not a device, independent of context, that can be moved
from here to there. The process of making things happen in society
using words happens in society.
Lawlessness is not absence of "the law." Usually it is the presence
of much law and little governance. Making things happen in society
using words can be impossible, so that regardless of whether there
is much or little law, there is no lawyering, only serving power.

> | I came to law school to develop a creative and innovative way to use words in order to bring change. The experiences in my life have given me an appreciation for those who are able to effectively change the status quo with persuasion. For the past two decades or so, the country that I was born lacked any presence of governance. What ultimately drove me to law school is the goal to understand how to use words in order to solve the issue of governance in Somalia. Furthermore, I would also like to learn how to effectively use words in order to solve the various issues facing disadvantage members of our society. | | | \ No newline at end of file |
