Why did you want to be an attorney?
I decided to become an attorney when I was about 13 years old, after I concluded that I didn’t want to be a large animal veterinarian (true story).  My grandfather was a very accomplished attorney in St. Louis, where I grew up.  I so much admired him and his intellect that I thought I would like the intellectual challenge of law myself.I decided to become an attorney when I was about 13 years old, after I concluded that I didn’t want to be a large animal veterinarian (true story).  My grandfather was a very accomplished attorney in St. Louis, where I grew up.  I so much admired him and his intellect that I thought I would like the intellectual challenge of law myself.
