What drew you to a career in law?
As a high school student, I was already interested in law and as a result I was invited to sit on a student panel that heard cases involving minors who were charged with a misdemeanor. The role of the panel was to evaluate the alleged conduct and make punishment recommendations to the deciding authority. Through this, I realized that a career in law carried a great deal of responsibility and would provide an opportunity to have a meaningful and positive influence on the lives of others. My studies as an undergraduate served to reinforce the realization that my particular interests and abilities could be well-suited for a career as a lawyer.
