Intro to Law Interest

In 2009, I was asked "where do I see myself in five years?" The first things that popped into my mind and out of my mouth was, "In five years, I see myself in law school." Honestly, I did not know why I kept saying it because my interests at the time was being a public relations practitioner or the head of corporate communications at a Fortune 500 company.

As I wondered why I kept saying I wanted to be in law school, I started to do some research about different careers in law. I have never really had an interest in criminal law, so shows like "Law and Order" never inspired me to say I was going to law school. While researching, I stumbled upon http://www.discoverlaw.com. On this website, I learned about different fields of law and did a quiz about which type of law I should consider based on my interests. The results of my test were intellectual property and entertainment law. After getting my results, I began to research what intellectual property was (the type of law dealt with the protecting of creative works, whether it be copyrighted works, trademarks, or patents), and knew in an instant this is the type of law I wanted to practice (and of course, I have more reasons that sparked my interests).

Since July 2009, pursuing law has become one of my obsessions and interests. And since, the summer of 2010, I began studying for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), and researching schools that had courses in the intellectual property and entertainment law. My test is Saturday, Oct. 9, and I plan to have all my applications sent the week before Thanksgiving.
