I think I'll be an attorney . . .

I did fairly well on my grades last semester and was invited to join an honors fraternity here at school called Phi Delta Phi. Our induction ceremony was last night. For those of you that know me personally, you'd imagine I had seen the inside of a court room from my traffic tickets. I've seen a traffic court but I had never been in a "court room." You know, the kind you see on TV with the huge bench for the judge and a witness chair to the side, a jury box and tables where counsel sit. Last night our induction ceremony was in the Federal Bankrupcy Court for the Western District. The courtroom was beautiful and the ceremony was great. The spoke to us about the need for honest ethical lawyers. That our profession was one whose foundation is on truth and justice and the only what that the goals of our legal system are fulfilled is when lawyers are also grounded on those foundations. I felt honored and privileged to be taking my first steps towards joining this profession.
