this wasn't a thought i entertained for very long, you have to understand. i got through about 15 credits, but i gave up on it pretty fast.

but, for a few months, i was contemplating the idea of being the kind of lawyer that goes after big mining firms, for example. or, perhaps, the kind of lawyer that tries to use the judicial system to strengthen civil rights protections around free speech, which is the closest thing that ended up actually happening.

i got very cynical very fast. i don't think there's much of a path, here, for substantive change, after all.
