A classmate of mine is...I think it's a great idea. A classmate of mine is actually starting her own legal aid firm (a solo practice right now), she's moving out to BFE in our state where there is a lack of legal representation in general. She got some attorneys to make donations, even enough to build her own library and get office space. I can put you in touch with her if you'd like, maybe she can give you some ideas. Are you on Facebook?<br /><br />Check with your law school to find out if there are any grants to apply for. Money's tight right now in every state, but it's still out there.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173655298262399906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-39168544376143769902009-05-27T12:23:01.660-07:002009-05-27T12:23:01.660-07:00Sorry...me again...not trying to hijack the commen...Sorry...me again...not trying to hijack the comment section, but one more thing:<br /><br />You know where you say "Last year... I loved the crazy complication of litigating construction defect claims" and the other stuff you got to do/learn/try? Now, after some experience and the confidence that comes with it, you find yourself thinking, "So what?"...well...<br /><br />Yeah. Exactly.<br /><br />Okay, this concludes my hijacking of your comments section. But THANK YOU for posting the basis of my next post. You've provided the perfect jumping off point for me. Yay!gudnuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404362959136843111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-10672033630363046632009-05-27T12:11:24.297-07:002009-05-27T12:11:24.297-07:00Oh, and disciplined.

Rock on!) It's people like you that make people ilke me LIKE people like you. And want to be one of you. And work shoulder-to-shoulder with you. You're smart, dedicated, articulate, ambitious, educated, focused, determined...plus you understand the whole working mommy thing, along with all the other commenters here...why wouldn't I want to be a part of that? Why do people ask me why I want that? Better to ask: Why would I NOT want that? Why would I NOT want to be a member of that team?gudnuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404362959136843111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-67545440095012594682009-05-26T21:00:12.037-07:002009-05-26T21:00:12.037-07:00You can do it, Cee! I started law school saying I...You can do it, Cee! I started law school saying I wanted to help people and make a difference....where did I end up? A large, international firm. The only time I do good is when I take a pro bono case. Not acceptable! Don't sell yourself short. Follow your passion. Life is too short, and time away from your family is too precious, to do something that doesn't bring you passion. <br /><br />I'm in the process of rethinking some things now that I'm a mom.FSDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589454118258995448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-1015247538763626462009-05-26T19:53:38.022-07:002009-05-26T19:53:38.022-07:00Why is this crazy? Why is this naive? Why is this ...Why is this crazy? Why is this naive? Why is this just a dream? You can do this ten times. In your sleep. I think you are superwoman and will show the world what one woman can do. It brings tears to my eyes to think about this.<br /><br />I hope that doesn't sound hokey. I know it does, but I don't care. I just love the sound of this and I want with all my might for you to do it. <br /><br />By the way, have you ever read The Alchemist? If not, this might be the perfect time.
