At first I was bummed out that I had to put on a suit and go to court during 4th of July week right after I got back from my honeymoon, but it ended up being fun because I ran into my Brooklyn Law School classmates Melissa Ronan and James Koblenzer in the Kings County Jury Cooridnation Part yesterday. Great to see them in court and doing well (even though they’re on the defense side).

It’s competition season for the Young Debaters Program. What makes the a young Debaters Program so unique and impactful? It’s so much more than a debate program. Anyone can teach debate. This pipeline-to-law school program is designed to inspire, empower and develop future attorneys. This is why my program partners with accredited law schools to host the competitions. Students see themselves studying in the school which nurtures the dream! Five competitions on deck this Spring. Let’s get it.

This was a very fun presentation - all the 3Ls had such good energy (especially for a Friday before Spring Break!!). Thanks for hosting us, Alice and Lewis & Clark Law School! One great question we got: "If I'm working and won't be available to start a new job before December, when should I start looking?" Don't waste time applying to open job postings you won't be able to start for months - very few, if any, employers will wait when they have a current need. If you're actively available (for example, you've passed your licensure, finished your externship, made the move, etc.) then you can be actively applying for posted jobs. However, don't discount the power of using the time when you are not quite ready to start to set yourself up for success! Network, schedule informational interviews, go to events, do research, get your materials and LinkedIn in order, follow recruiters, etc. so that when you're ready, your search will feel like it has good momentum (and a much more human connection) already.
Finished up my two-week tour of speaking with students with a visit to Lewis & Clark Law School, joined by my colleagues (and attorney experts) Kelsey and Abby, to discuss navigating the job search as a new attorney. Thank you to Alice Emerson for inviting us and thanks to all of the students for sticking with us for 3 hours (!) of presentations and asking plenty of great questions. Good luck to everybody, you got this!!

Had the incredible opportunity today to second chair my very first jury trial under the student practice rule. I was supervised by the amazing Jon Fenn who I have so much to learn from! I'm grateful for the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office for allowing their clerks the opportunity to be in court and gain valuable experience before graduating from law school. #lawschool #studentpracticerule #jurytrial

#Throwback: Our CIO and cofounder Pablo Arredondo at BYU Law School's “Future of Law” Forum in November 2022 discussing how neural nets perform “linguistic calisthenics” without human bias, combing the entire common law with trained AI algorithms. #casetext #neuralnetworks #legalAI #LeadersinLegalAI
Here's a page out of the latest edition of The BYU Advocate magazine from BYU Law School. Not sure how I rated placement on the same page as Pablo Arredondo of Casetext, but I'll take it. It's always an honor to speak at the school and always a thrill to visit Provo.
