I chose to go to law school because I thought that someday, somehow I'd make a difference.
From Christopher Darden
I think that the mere fact that I'm doing it ought to inspire someone. In junior high school the counselor suggested that I focus on wood shop and metal shop.
The events of the day inspired me to become a lawyer.
Something's going to happen that's going to make us all pay attention at the type of sentences some people are serving and the conditions in which they are served.
It's too late for that - trying to second guess it. It's over. I'm worried about how to get the kids through school and still write and practice law and take power of attorney.
That's an interesting question. I would say that in general Americans know very little about the law. It's one of those things that most of us take for granted.
I did not think that I was angry, but clearly anger was reflected in my writing. I did not think that I had been affected emotionally, but it was clear from my writing that I was still very emotional about the trial some six months after it ended.
The law has no compassion. And justice is administered without compassion.
It would have been easier to have a male protagonist, but I didn't want people to assume that Nikki Hill was me in her entirety because a lot of people just don't like me and I don't think they would be interested in reading about me, even in the fictional context.
I no longer teach law. But when I did I advised my students that they should never accept a case if it meant that by doing so you couldn't sleep at night.
