I came to law school to expand the movement for problem-solving community justice in criminal law. I hope to emerge from law school with not only the tools to do this, but also the confidence that my success cannot be reduced to a four-digit number of billable hours on a timesheet. I believe in the research that shows community courts to be more effective at a lower cost than traditional courts, and hope I can persuade society, in bits and pieces and over decades, to accept a working model of justice over a largely reactionary one.
