  This experience taught me that, while law school can and should change to better remind students why they decided to become lawyers, students who seek the answer to that question can find it through existing processes. I do not know whether prosecuting elder abuse is my calling, but I at least know that this summer I will have the chance to really help people like my grandfather, and perhaps answer that question once and for all. Law school may not give us a guidebook on how to discover the best practice area for oneself, but that does not mean that students cannot find the answer by paying attention at the right time.

>		Hi Spencer, thanks for a truly insightful essay. I resonated with your disillusionment in law school; my 1L year primarily involved having to doubt many beliefs and ideals I had in college, although our class discussions revived some of them. The lack of direction faced by many law students reminds me of Wylie's belief that what lawyers do is determined by who pays them and that's it, and I really hope that most of our colleagues will have a better lawyering philosophy than Wylie's. - Justine Hong

 
You are entitled to restrict access to your paper if you want to. But we all derive immense benefit from reading one another's work, and I hope you won't feel the need unless the subject matter is personal and its disclosure would be harmful or undesirable.
