Why Law School?

My interest in law started when my daughter graduated from William and Mary Law school. She was a prosecutor. I am so proud of her . When teaching philosophy, I became interested in the philosophy of law. As I mentioned to my niece, getting a law degree isn’t always because you want to practice in court. The reputation of such a degree gets you hired as a consultant to politicians and organizations. It teaches reason, persuasion, and confidence. I wish I had taken two years to go to law school instead of getting two Master degrees.

However, I purchased an online law course which focuses on the rules of trial. It is from Great Courses.com–it has 44 thirty minute lectures by a very exciting professor with many examples from real cases. My faith in the justice of our law system was affirmed.

Now I can watch my favorite show, Law and Order Special Victim’s Unit and have great understanding of their court scenes.
