What an interesting time to be in law school. In the first two weeks, there are two openings on the bench of the supreme court. This is an issue that I feel wholly unqualified to discuss compared to the many other materials available, but how does this seem to effect me and what is the perspective of the beginning law student?
The outcome of these appointments are likely to set the tone of the courts for much of the duration of my career. Are the courts going to change positions on many of the key issues that are highly disputed cultural issues like abortion, prayer in schools, terrorism? How do I maintain my own beliefs while at the same time respect the system of law to which I will become a laborer. How am I connected to John Roberts now? Are we colleges in a sense, but does not the justice system encompass all citizens as an extending of our interrelated society bonds?
thoughts at the end of a long day of studying!
