=== Early life and education === Sam grew up in [[Laguna Beach, California]]. He makes a reference to going to ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' camp when he was younger in the episode "[[The Two Bartlets]]". Sam graduated [[magna cum laude]] from [[Princeton University]] and [[Duke University School of Law]]. He makes repeated references to his alma mater, especially in the earlier seasons, indicating a certain pride in his attendance there. "Princeton" is his [[United States Secret Service|Secret Service]] code name, and he mentions being the recording secretary of the Princeton [[Gilbert and Sullivan]] Society. He can speak Spanish, as seen in Season 3 episode "Ways and Means". It is hinted in several episodes that Sam has a difficult relationship with his father and that they do not speak regularly. Sam attended [[Duke Law School]] and was the editor of the ''Duke Law Review'' (which, in reality, is known as the ''[[Duke Law Journal]]''). While Josh Lyman is also a lawyer, and it is implied in the episode "[[And It's Surely to Their Credit]]" (by the statement "everyone in the room is a lawyer") that several other senior staffers are also attorneys, Sam is the only one of these shown actually practicing law (before, during, and after serving in the White House) and is the only one who is ever consulted on legal matters.<ref>''The West Wing'', Episode 2.05: "[[And It's Surely to Their Credit]]".</ref>
