Career goals: Public service and academia

I came from a private practice background but have always been interested in legal scholarship and public service. I chose Harvard Law School because I believed it was the best law school in the world, and my experience here has validated that view.

My advice to new students: Be loyal to your dream. Follow the path you want to pursue. Persistence will pay off.
