Now I get to go to law school, which is a career field that I’m interested in, what I want to do. Going into civil litigation right now just because it’s a field that deals with education and consumer protection. Landlord-tenant-those types of cases deal with people and laws have a lot to do with people. I’m like super, super excited.

— Brittany Reaves, an 18-year-old graduate of Fayetteville State University in North Carolina, commenting on her legal aspirations. Reaves earned 85 college credits while she was still in high school, and completed the rest for her bachelor’s degree in history in just one year at FSU. She will be attending North Carolina Central University School of Law.
