Legal Eagle
When I tell people I’m majoring in government (which I almost always immediately follow up with “political science”), the next question is almost invariably whether I plan to attend law school.  It was never something I had thought about growing up.  The only reason I’ve ever considered it since starting college was when someone tried to tell me I ought to try it — my...
