Jade Smith

United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas – Corpus Christi, TX

I applied to my job with the Honorable David S. Morales on CORE. I was offered a virtual interview and received a phone call offering me the job a few hours later!

What did you like most about your job?

My favorite aspect of this opportunity was the invaluable legal research and writing opportunities it presented, allowing me to dive into various fields of the law including: federal criminal law, Texas tort law, business law, intellectual property, evidentiary issues, and proper civil procedure.

How do you think this experience has helped you in your career path?

This experience helped me apply the legal research and writing skills I developed throughout my first year at St. Mary’s Law and gave me a better understanding of the legal doctrine I learned, as I was able to experience, research, and analyze its practical application in real life circumstances.
