My clerkship in a state appellate court provided me with an unparalleled front-row seat to the development of the law in my state. Moreover, diving into the details of our cases, as well as interacting with both my judge and the many dedicated people who work in our courts, gave me a deeper understanding of the nuances of the legal system in my state and the legal community that operates in it, which I know will be invaluable in my practice.
