"What I love about teaching law is the challenge of helping students become intentionally critical thinkers and actors.I think of this as a two step process.The first step is getting them to ask critical questions about whatever subject I am teaching them -- skills, clinic, professional responsibility, family law.The next step is helping them find their identities as powerful actors in the legal system who can and must make choices about the kind of professionals they want to be. The goal of all this, of course, is to show that Law -- or The Legal System -- doesn't simply exist out there to be 'found', but that it is constructed by people just like us -- teachers, students, ordinary citizens, who pay attention and care about improving the lives of everyone around them."
