This is another one of those blogs that is written by the up and coming of the thousands of law students around the country. My part of the country is the Northwest-- Oregon, to be exact. After graduating from BYU in 2010 and working at Ancestry.com for a year, I decided to come home to my beautifully green, unmistakably open-minded state and get a legal education at Willamette University. If you are from Oregon, you have heard of it. Washington, maybe. California, the same. Otherwise, just know that for a legal career in Oregon, it is in the same market as Lewis and Clark, University of Oregon, and a bit of the University of Washington. As a 1L, I have an inkling of what I want to do in the legal profession, but I will hopefully narrow it down to at most two options by the end of my first year.
As far as my background goes, I am 25 years old. I am the oldest of three kids. I speak Spanish fluently and have a love for almost all things Latino/Hispano/Sudamericano and Spanish. I studied rhetoric and race under the umbrella of an English major and took plenty of political science and Spanish classes along the way. I vacillated on whether to go to law school for a long time. As a self-confident and embarrassingly ignorant freshman in college, I wanted to get a law degree to become a politician. Two years of giving service to others before resuming my formal education helped me realize that there are better ways to help people. Long story short, I have had experiences with attorneys and other legal professionals that convinced me to bite the bullet and here I am, writing a blog to cyberspace and maybe the occasional passer-by.
My hope is to include those things that I want to remember later as well as those that by chance help someone else who decides to sell their soul, in the most positive sense of the phrase, to the law.
