Personal Introduction

Changed:

<		I have always viewed the law from a position of disdain and criticism. This odd position, however, can be explained by my distaste for anyone who seeks to criticize an institution, apparatus, or ideology from a position of naiveté and ignorance about the nature and internal logic of that structure.

>		I have always viewed the law from a position of disdain and criticism. My sojourn into law school is driven by my distaste of criticism of any institution, apparatus, or ideology taken from a position of naiveté and ignorance about the nature and internal logic of that structure.
 
Added:
>
>		Law school for me is a chance to understand the internal spaces of law, to determine if its cogs and levers push the behemoth without falter in the direction I fear, and if so to decide if our legal institutions are more susceptible to internal subversion, or external resistance.

Am I correct in reading that you were critical of law because of your distaste for people who criticize what they do not understand?

What I am hoping for from law school is an understanding of law that can either disprove my assumptions or confirm and enlighten my biases. I am hoping that I can learn to what extent I can work within an institution that I often wish to work against.

What does the word "institution" mean here?

Do I correctly read from this text that you want from law school enough understanding either to disprove assumptions (unstated) or to confirm biases? A modest goal, certainly. In service of anything larger?
