Hi friends, comrades, and assorted feds,
I'm coming up on the end of a thoroughly wasted undergrad, and it's looking like I'm going to end up at law school.
I know that a better, more socialist society cannot and will not be established through the judicial system alone, but I nonetheless want to contribute in some way through a career in law. So in your opinion, is Labor/Employment Law a valid way of doing this? Representing the interests of Unions or individual employees against their employers?
Would it be better to attack some other aspect of our societal injustice? Immigration law, Civil Rights or so on? Open to any kind of thoughts you might have, I haven't read enough theory yet myself to be 100% sure about this.
We might not be able to Phoenix Wright our way to communism, but helping keep proletarians from being locked up, deported, or abused at the workplace is praxis. Vladimir Lenin was a lawyer.
You as a lawyer might not bring about communism, but the people you keep out of prison and on the streets organizing might.
