Because I am a masochist.
Seriously, though, I feel very strongly about the field of Intellectual Property and Information Technology law. There are some pretty badly written laws out there that basically take away all rights of the consumer when it comes to digital media (The Digital Millenium Copyright Act is just a horrid, biased piece of legislation written by people with zero IT knowledge). I was already going for an undgergrad in IT, so I figured why the hell not?
Also, both of my parents are attorneys, as are my mom's sister, and two of my dad's brothers (and some of their kids as well). Its a world I've always been exposed to, and that I feel comfortable with.
