Listen to a Lawyer on C-SPAN

The other day I happened across C-SPAN Radio while searching for an NPR station.  (In fact, I thought it was NPR and was starting to wonder why they were covering so many Senate hearings.)  Though I later found the actual NPR station, I’ve kept listening to C-SPAN on and off.

This evening that paid off when the station played a fascinating speech given by Thomas Goldstein.  You can find it online here; it starts at 27 minutes and 45 seconds into the program.  (You’ll need Real Player installed to watch it.)

Goldstein spoke about his circuitous path to becoming a Supreme Court Lawyer and the need to find a niche in the field.  While I have no desire to become a lawyer, what he says is applicable to just about any profession.  He’s a very entertaining speaker and the story is well worth listening to.  Enjoy!
