Barack Obama was working as a community organizer and advocate for the poor in Chicago, and decided he could do a more effective job if he had a law degree. After he graduated in 1991, he was hired by Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Gallard, a Chicago firm specializing in civil rights law.
If you are asking where he studied law, that would be at Harvard Law School, in Cambridge MA, where he graduated in 1991 with academic honors. If you are asking in what city he practiced law, he was hired by a small law firm in Chicago, and he handled cases involving civil rights and discrimination.
He has said that in the mid-1980s, when he was working in Chicago as a community organizer and an advocate for the poor, he came to believe that he could be of more help to the people he served if he had a law degree, since many poor people needed legal advice but had little access to it. So, he got a law degree and then became a lawyer who specialized in civil rights cases.
By some accounts, when he was working in Chicago as a community organizer and advocate for the poor, he saw a lot of people who were unable to access legal services and who were being treated unfairly. He decided that he could be a stronger advocate for them if he had a law degree; so after working for five years and saving up some money, he went to law school at Harvard. When he graduated in 1991, he returned to Chicago to become a civil rights attorney.
