Why are you interested in the legal industry?
I avoid watching the news because I am often disappointed with the way that social and legal issues are being handled around the country. When I watch reports on decisions being made by different authorities, I think "Well that could've been handled better," or "Why are the laws dedicated to this issue being ignored?" I have recognized that the application and understanding of proper law is disproportionately distributed across the country, and unequal education opportunities result in litigation decisions that do not represent the majority . In the legal industry, as a lawyer or judge, I want to fight for just decisions to made, and more specifically to help minorities that are underrepresented by the law.
