I've spent this summer as an intern at the Norfolk Public Defender's office. As I prepare to enter my last year of law school and charge headlong toward a career in criminal law, I'm beginning to mold who I want to be as an attorney. I decided I'd like to write down some reflections on what I've observed--not only to share them with anyone who might be interested or like-minded, but also to solidify my "philosophy of lawyering" (pardon the flashback to PR).
Though I've wanted to go to law school since undergrad (I graduated in 1997), I never expected to be bitten by the criminal bug. I've grown to admire our justice system, with all its flaws, and to desire to be a part of it. I've seen brief glimpses of how God might use me to impact lives, and I couldn't be more excited!
