<p>So I posted way back as prefrosh thinkin of law. Ive managed to finish my first year of college with a 3.8, double majoring in Computer Science and English at a small research university. I know its real early to decide what I want to do in four years, so I am keeping my options wide open, but I am real interested in law. </p>
<p>So I got involved in policy debate, and this year's topic dealt with the domestic law and the courts. I did alot of research on Lexus-Nexus, which apparently law school students use alot, and read tons of legal reviews and cases. Based on that, I fell in love with policy debate, though more so on the critical side, since mostly I argued from a Critical Legal Studies standpoint. </p>
<p>So I guess I have two questions. First is policy debate, at least in terms of the research work I did with lexus/ case studies/ legal reviews kinda like what you do in law school, or am I real naive? I enjoyed researching these arguments. </p>
<p>Second I am real fascinated with critical literature, especially Jurisprudence and Critical Legal Studies. I know it exists seperately at poli sci/philosophy stuff, but can I study it in law school in depth. I was looking at Boalt's combined jd/phd in jurisprudence program which looked divine. And as I have mentioned earlier I am a computer science and english double major. So I was thinking of intersecting my interests in both critical law and computer science. I've heard of jurispruedence and cyberspace randomly somewhere. Can anyone eloborate on it? I know it has to deal with the rights we have online and other philosophical legal matters in cyberspace area. But can anyone tell me about the education required to pursue a career in that, or what kind of careers are available? Also is it a bad thing if I feel more drawn to the academia in terms of work than the corporate world. I know I'll probally be drowning in debt, but I like researching and reading and learning.</p>
