Not really. I’m going to be working at a small non-profit firm with a focus on increasing economic opportunity and this kind of law does appeal to me.
Environmental law also appeals to me because I feel like it’s a growing/evolving field that should become increasingly relevant as we grapple with issues like resource management and climate change.
I kinda think I will figure out what I wanna do once I’m actually in law school. Do you feel like that’s what most people do?
A lot of people do figure it out in law school as they intern and see what topics interest them. Particularly in this economy, people are just trying to get a job in general, let alone being real picky about what area it’s in. In a lot of areas, the market is super saturated and it can be really hard to get a job after graduation.
Oh, I’ve heard all about the state of the legal job market (or lack there of). I’ve got a professor who basically told our Con Law class that if we are looking for a lucrative job, don’t go to law school. I mean, do want to be financially secure, but I’m not going into law for the money, so I’m trying to not get too worried.
Since you are from Oregon, I have to ask you about Lewis and Clark. Do you know much about that school? I’m interested in them both for their location and environmental program.
I’ve heard good things about Lewis and Clark and they are known for their environmental law program. The campus is nice, at least one building looks like a bunker, but it’s right in the trees which makes it feel more secluded and like you’re in the middle of a forest, and the library is beautiful.
Do you have a preference for what type of law you’d like to practice?
