Folks, this was initially posted in the wrong place; here is a second try.

What I hope to get from law school:

Mostly, two and a half years from now, I hope I can answer this question easily; law school is part of my search for direction.

My previous work has been in state politics, in the non-profit advocacy. Service is important to me, and I get satisfaction from it. However, working in ineffectual organizations is frustrating. Shouting at the rain is, I’ve discovered, less romantic than it sounds.

For now, I seek an environment where I can learn from the people around me. Soon, I would like to find excitement and purpose in my work. Eventually, I seek responsibility, and a role of leadership.
