Read the answers to last week's question: What was your path to law?

Featured answer:

Posted by Bryan B.: "I grew up poor, but with educated parents. I decided on law school after long talks with my grandfather (an attorney) and after having been steamrolled by a city attorney in a traffic case. I had always wanted to help people, and this was the way I could do that and support my family. Unfortunately, cancer came just as I passed the bar, and I had to forgo many plans. I am now, happily, a lawyer analyst for the state. I have input into legislation and programs meant to help the needy and vulnerable."
