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.

    Don't forget the public defenders in that list too!

    But yeah, if you have legal training might as well use it for good, right? There are a lot of good lawyers out there making real material gains for working people. It's not gonna bring the revolution or anything but going into labor law or public defense already put you in like, the top 1% of comrades doing real shit for people.
