Description
I never intended to be a lawyer. Growing up, I was always the quiet student, someone who preferred not to be noticed. I was never argumentative. I had a mental image of what lawyers were like: articulate, opinionated, and supremely intelligent. I was convinced I was none of those things. But my life took a surprising turn. My husband and I got involved in a civil lawsuit in 2004. Here I am, a lawyer working to improve access to justice through public legal education.
Going through litigation is one of the worst experiences imaginable. Even so, it was also an amazing learning experience. One of the interesting things I learned was that many of my previous assumptions about the justice system were completely wrong. In this essay, I will share some of these mistaken beliefs.
