<p>Demosthenes49 thanks for you advice. I would like to practice there because lots of different reasons (long story short: I love law, it is what im passionate about, and I would like to practice it in the US).
When I say “get into politics” I do not strictly refer to running for a bench in a State Legislature or the US Congress, or to run for mayor or governor. By “getting into politics” I refer to work in the public sector, for example as a congressman advisor, a legislative counselor, etc.
I don’t think like “get my JD degree then being Attorney for the rest of my life”. I see the JD as a proper way to practice law but not to practice it only as an attorney.</p>
