What was your path to law?

This month, law lecturer Matthew Channon of Exeter University in England encouraged lawyers from less privileged backgrounds to share their stories on Twitter.

Featured answer:

Posted by Mr Toad: "I worked full-time at a Ford assembly plant making Thunderbirds and went to night school for 3\0xBD years straight, including summers. Every other aspect of my life was put on hold except one: I attended every Chicago Bears home game and watched the road games on television. No debt! In fact, my law school graduation ceremony took place on the same Sunday the Bears played in the 1986 Super Bowl. What a party!"
