I went to law school after college.

I worked my way through law school.

I finished law school in '56, but I was working two jobs.

I was actually going to law school in 1972.

I went to law school. And I became a prosecutor. I took on a specialty that very few choose to pursue. I prosecuted child abuse and child homicide cases. Cases that were truly gut-wrenching. But standing up for those kids, being their voice for justice was the honor of a lifetime.

I chose to go to law school because I thought that someday, somehow I'd make a difference.

I went downtown as a lawyer and then I worked in a liquor store at night, as I had done all through law school. And so when I got to the point where I could give up the night job, I joined the political club.

I worked at a law firm in New York very briefly.

I started in law school in '71 and graduated in '74. So I was training for the Olympics, running or averaging around 20 miles a day and going to law school full time.

Working in Washington, trying to make a difference, that was a very meaningful time for me, a period of personal growth.
