1. Hey, I'm Erik. I graduated in 2008 from a small liberal arts college with a degree in music performance but every intention of taking the LSAT and applying to law schools. Instead, an entry-level policy job on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC presented itself, and I decided to give that a shot. Fast forward eight years, I've been fortunate to work in senior positions for several U.S. Senators and spent the last three election cycles as communications director on big nationally-watched political campaigns.
2. My biggest worry is that I'm way behind the eight ball for 2017 applications. December 3 will be my first LSAT, and I've only just started working on my personal statement and sussing out where I'd like to go to law school.
3. Idea one: telling the story of the insane race I worked on in 2012, where our opponent's incendiary comments on rape and abortion spiraled into a national conversation about women's reproductive rights that changed the trajectory of our race and others around the country -- how I managed the media crush that followed those comments and what I learned about my ability to execute under pressure.
Idea two: telling the story of my experience in 2009 working for a congressmen embroiled in scandal who ultimately resigned in disgrace from office -- what that taught me about the balance between loyalty/professionalism and adhering to one's core values.
4. This will by my first time attending a session.
