I'm about to graduate & came to law school with the goal of being a public defender. I'm still open to the idea & I think it's still a worthy stepping stone (& I LOVED the 3 years I spent interning w/ pubdefs! Super fun!) but I've really come to love ideas of constitutional litigation & Bivens/1983 actions. Anyone here have any experience in that area? Not quite criminal defense but closely related I think. Would love to pick your brain, especially if you are in PA or DC.
