Personal Introduction

I have always viewed the law from a position of disdain and criticism. My sojourn into law school is driven by my distaste of criticism of any institution, apparatus, or ideology taken from a position of naiveté and ignorance about the nature and internal logic of that structure.

Law school for me is a chance to understand the internal spaces of law, to determine if its cogs and levers push the behemoth without falter in the direction I fear , and if so to decide if our legal institutions are more susceptible to internal subversion, or external resistance.

Too purple, which is why you lost control of the grammar and wrote "falter" instead of "faltering." Unless "external resistance" means "criminal activity" the distinction between inside and outside, like most such distinctions, is less than meets the eye.

Law school for me is a chance to understand the internal spaces of law, an opportunity to test its assumptions and my own. By grappling with the law I hope to find some means of achieving alternatives to its dominance, or at least some hope in the eventual purification of its purpose.

I have always viewed the law from a position of disdain and criticism. This odd position, however, can be explained by my distaste for anyone who seeks to criticize an institution, apparatus, or ideology from a position of naiveté and ignorance about the nature and internal logic of that structure.

Am I correct in reading that you were critical of law because of your distaste for people who criticize what they do not understand?

What I am hoping for from law school is an understanding of law that can either disprove my assumptions or confirm and enlighten my biases. I am hoping that I can learn to what extent I can work within an institution that I often wish to work against.

What does the word "institution" mean here?

Do I correctly read from this text that you want from law school enough understanding either to disprove assumptions (unstated) or to confirm biases? A modest goal, certainly. In service of anything larger?
