Just over two years ago, I sat in a Rockville courtroom, taking furious notes on the well-publicized habeas corpus trial. I was fresh out of my first year of law school, an intern with the Office of the Chief State’s Attorney. When court adjourned for the day, I introduced myself to two of the journalists in the room, mentioning how much I’d enjoyed my brief stint as a regular freelance contributor to the Hartford Courant. “So,” one of them asked, “you’re working in prosecution now? What made you decide to go over to the other side?”
The following year, I told a fellow student that I was excited to be interning as an appellate prosecutor. Appearing surprised, he replied, “Really? I guess I thought you were a Democrat.”
