Law Skool?

I wrote a paper a few weeks ago entitled, Heritage Legislation in Portable Cultural Property: Theoretical Background and Present Application in the People's Republic of China. I got my grade back for the paper today and I did well... REALLY well. My professor wrote, "this is one of the best discussions I have ever read of the legislative and legal complexities that a country can face in trying to protect its portable heritage". My grade was actually only one point lower than perfect.

The thing is, I also really enjoyed writing this paper. Analyzing foreign law is like trying to solve this cultural enigma, and once you get it it becomes all so clear. You know the rules and now you can play the game.

So now I am beginning to seriously wonder... should I think about law school? There are lots of debates about studying law in a PhD program versus studying law at law school. Right now I am opting for the former, mainly because I am very specific in the kind of law I want to study. But in order to be respected as knowledgable in the field, you need a JD after your name.

So yeah... food for thought... who knows what could come down the line (and yes, this is all part of my ingenious plan to never actually enter the real world- Sallie Mae catch me when you can!)
