Law School Discussion

Haha, you are so right about the appropriations comment.  I'm interning on capital hill right now (did I say that already?) and have been working on appropriations for the last week.  It's such a coincidence that Senator Spector's (the chair of appropriations committee) state gets the most money! 

Anyway, the time here in DC has told me I don't know if I want to go to school here.  I like the rural enviornment a little more. Though I do intend on applying to GMU, DC itself is a little much sometimes when you have no money.  However, GMU is still big city, so I have to figure out what's more important, the political center of the country or enviornment.  May I ask where you left DC for check01?

One more question for you all.  Would I have to go to a DC area school to get a politically related job in law?

This isn't my thread, but how about I throw something out there just to give the conversation some direction.  Same region, not T14. 

I think you may be the first person I've talked to or heard from that is intersted in the sort of thing I am (though maybe not specifically the organizations you meantioned).  You must be older though, I'm still in college.  I'm actually doing an internship on Capital Hill right now (slow day, so I'm kinda monitoring this message board), so it sounds like I'm on the right track as far as internship stuff.  I don't really want to stick with just my B.A. as others had mentioned, simply because I don't think I'd be satisfied with myself for stopping there.  Plus, I wouldn't mind practicing law before getting into politics anyway.  I'm glad to know that the law degree can get me to an area I'm intrested in.

Yes this is true with law school.
