One of my former law school professors, Susan Wolf, was on Minnesota Public radio this morning, discussing the Schiavo case. I tried to call in with a comment, but the producer claimed I was too difficult to understand. It probably didn’t help that my voice is still a little scratchy from my cold. But hearing her voice reminded of the hours I had spent in her classes. I was in the middle of my second year and starting to feel frustrated with law school. I had been taking some really dry classes (Evidence, anyone?) and I didn’t have a clue about what area of law held any interest for me. I signed up for Professor Wolf’s Health Law course and for the first time I felt really engaged with the readings and the subject matter. I started to think that I might want to pursue some kind of career in health law or policy. It took me a while to find something in that field, but the work I’m doing now is the directly attributable to Professor Wolf’s influence. I wrote her a quick e-mail later in the day to say I enjoyed hearing her on the radio and to thank her for setting me on my current path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
