“Nineteen years on the street taught me that the law is a blunt instrument. Law school is where I learn to sharpen it. To the non-trads and career-changers: do not let the years intimidate you. Experience is not baggage; it is the framework that makes the theory make sense. Chase the work that keeps you awake at night, stay disciplined when the novelty fades, and remember that your value is not tied to a ranking. It is tied to the problems you are willing to solve. Take it or leave it, but never mistake a late start for a disadvantage.”
