D.A.: I have to start with a joke: one enlists to a law school as it is the only mathematics-free school. However, my motives lie in the old black and white movies about court trials, prosecutors vs. defense attorneys, witness preparation, and most importantly evidence popping out in the last minute. It makes you fall in love with the idea of the law profession.
