This is a long read - 10-15 min? - but interesting - or more so, troubling.
This guy spoke at my university spring of my last year when I was finishing my MA. I’d already been accepted to law schools so he wasn’t a core inspiration, but seeing him - and Ralph Nader too that spring - speak about their public interest law work basically cemented my path through law school and career. It’s shocking to see where he’s evolved to - truly heartsickening given the prior good works and the legacy he’s trading on.
