I am fascinated by language and ideas in a way that is completely divorced from anything concrete and practical. I came to law school because, as an English and Philosophy major, I felt guilty removing myself from the real world. Because I think privilege creates obligation, and because I want to put my mind to a better use than self-indulgent mental gymnastics, I hope law school provides intellectual challenges that are of actual value to other people.
