And it hadn't really been my idea to go to law school. We were really struggling to hire attorneys for the department and I was often in court alone and sometimes I'd sort of object to stuff the judge was doing (because she didn't really care about the law, if it didn't let her do what she wanted, or got flustered anyway). She'd get angry publicly for me practicing law without a license. But, between hearings, sometimes, she'd concede I was right. A year of this and she handed me the LSAT application told me just to go to law school.
