On the Campaign Trail
As you might imagine, YLS students are a politically active
group. Nothing makes this political involvement more apparent than an election year. It's impossible to walk down the hallways of YLS without seeing posters or overhearing conversations reminding you that it's primary season. Students are

doors to managing state-wide campaign efforts.
Yale Law Democrats and Yale Law Republicans, as well as other student groups, have sponsored a
variety of election-related events and activities this year.
For two roommates, Addisu Demissie '08 and Adam Goldfarb '09, political involvement has had an unusual personal twist. Adam and Addisu, one campaigning for Clinton, the other for Obama, recently shared their thoughts on the race and experiences on the campaign trail with the Yale Daily News.
