Life Choices
So I had this revelation a few days ago, and it still feels right, so I'm going to share it.
I know what I am going to do with the next ten or so years of my life. Maybe not quite ten. But anyway.
Sunday was the International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women. And of course I planned an ALF brown bag. And someone came from the local center and gave a talk. And I was also studying this subject in 2 of my classes (weird). So I was reading my law textbook and I come across this paragraph:
"For the vast majority of battered women, there is no legal counsel available to assist them in obtaining those legal remedies that may exist "on the books."...[F]ew civil service statutes provide for counsel or for counsel fees. Only a few legal services offices handle family law matters or represent battered women, and only a minority of shelters around the country have lawyers that work closely with them. In some cities, pro bono lawyering projects exist. Usually those projects are connected with city bar associations, but can handle only a few cases. They had generally been found to be inadequate."
THERE'S IS A NEED FRIENDS! And I am the one to fill it. I shall go to law school. And then I shall save the world.
Or you know. Try. Give a little helping hand.
Other life choicey stuff I could talk about (my living situation for next year ahhhhhhhhhhhh) but I have to go now friends. I <3 you all.
