Barack Obama worked for two law firms, both in Chicago. His first job was at Sidley and Austin, while he was still attending law school at Harvard. It was there that he met a young lawyer named Michelle Robinson, whom he would later date and then marry. After he got his law degree, Mr. Obama was hired by the civil rights firm of Miner, Barnhill and Galland. In addition to working on civil rights and discrimination cases, he also taught law at the University of Chicago, before deciding to enter politics and run for office in 1996.
