A few weeks ago I received an email from the Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity asking whether I'd be willing to sit on a panel to discuss what law school is like and answer questions from undergraduate students.  Because I like hearing the sound of my own voice and because I am always looking for an opportunity to give back to the University, I agreed.  Tonight, I sat on a panel with two other law students and discussed my experience in law school, what worked for me and what didn't, and the like.  By the end of the evening I realized how much I'd forgotten about the process like how anxious I was and how  I had no idea what I was getting into when I decided to go to law school.  All I did know was I simply needed to go.  It worked out for me, so far, and I hope our advice to the undergraduates this evening will help them.  Having become somewhat cynical about law school, it was refreshing to meet people who are still excited about it.
