I came to law school to supplement my graduate education with a set of skills that I could use to affect policy change, particularly on policies that disproportionately impact minorities and the poor. I believe that lawyers are uniquely positioned to do so through rhetorical argument, as well as a deeper understanding of how to create and change the law. Whether or not I'm right depends, in part, on my ability to think critically about what I learn in law school, which is why I'm taking this class.
