2. “You genuinely want to devote your life and your career to helping others.” — Corona
You are in it for the good of others, regardless of if you benefit from it or not. Having to deal with people in the worst of moods means you have to be dedicated to stick with your major.

When in an argument, you find yourself referencing court cases even if none of your friends know about them.
4. “You have the ability to see both sides in any given situation.” — Amber Harrington, junior
To be fair and just, you must know the law and the information of each situation before making a decision or judgement.

A chance to own comfortable clothes is rarely turned down by anyone, especially when you can support your major while doing it.
6. “OJ v. the People ["American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson"] is your go-to show in your free time.” — Rachel Burns, senior
When your friends can't always relate to your passion for court cases, you sometimes have to rely on television.

You analyze almost everything and sometimes find too much information.
8. "Details mean everything to you because you are a perfectionist." — Kaitlynn Whitaker, freshman
You have to notice every little detail as practice for when you're working on a case.
9. "Leadership and courage are two strong quantities people notice." — Mason O'Neal, senior
You have to be able to keep others around you calm in any situation and be able to work in conditions that aren't always ideal.
10. “You’re most likely an introvert who likes to lay low and observe people.” — Evan Thorstad, senior
