“Teaching gives me the opportunity to think and talk with students about some of the most interesting and timeless questions that have been asked throughout history. When we consider issues of government power and individual rights, the students and I get to challenge each other to think not just about what justice is, but about the proper role of the law – and lawyers – in achieving it.”
