all i have to do is dream...

So I think I've decided that I might go to law school...Maybe it's just a whim, maybe it's just a phase. Who knows? But I've decided it and there's no harm in applying and trying to do it, right?

But if I'm gonna dream, I might as well dream BIG, right?

Right. Well, Georgetown Law would be my choice (at this point). GL has an extensive course listing in Communications Law - much more than I can find at other schools. Instead of a couple of courses available in the field, there are:

Administrative Law (which is a lot of FCC content, I think)
Communications Law and Policy
Communications Law: Law, Policy, and Politics in the Internet Age (seminar)
Content Issues and the Internet Seminar
Copyright Law
Entertainment Law Seminar
Free Press Seminar
Global Communications Policy and Regulation
Information Privacy Law
International Telecommunications Regulation Seminar
Law of Cyberspace
Telecommunications Law
Telecommunications Regulation

There's also the Institute for Public Representation (IPR), about which Georgetown explains, "The goal of this practice is to make the communications media accessible, diverse and responsive to the needs of all segments of the community. In the clinic, students represent advocacy, consumer and civil rights organizations before the Federal Communications Commission and the federal courts. Some of the issues that students have worked on over the past several years include children’s television, access for persons with disabilities to communications services, equal employment opportunities at broadcast stations, public interest requirements for digital and satellite broadcasters, the protection of children from unfair and deceptive marketing on the Internet, broadcast and cable ownership rules, and access to telephone service by homeless and low-income persons." The chance to work in the clinic for IPR is available to students interested in communications law. WOO HOO! :)


Who knew I could be so excited about law school!??! Better start studying for the LSATs...
