While searching for summer employment, I continually refreshed C0RE to find exciting opportunities. I saw a posting for an internship with Chief Judge Garcia and figured applying couldn’t hurt.
What do/did you like most about your job?
I have cherished learning from Chief Justice Garcia’s brilliant clerks. It has been the opportunity of a lifetime to work so closely with them. I learned a lot from Yaffa, Sean, and Gail during the summer.
How do you think this experience has helped you in your career path?
Absolutely. This summer gave me confidence that I am in the right career field and that I can produce a meaningful work product. If I can draft something of value to a judge, then I certainly have what it takes to practice law.
