My law school boyfriend had left me no choice. During our early 1L (first year of law school) days, I thought I’d found my soulmate. We had both gone to law school to pursue public interest law, scorning classmates whose sole ambition was to land a job at a big firm and make six figures upon graduation. As summer wound to a close, I sat in my office, sad to return to law school, sad about my unsettled love life. Five years after the L.A. uprising, we got married, and we have been together ever since.
