Well, as of today, my little streak of having to make choices is over . . . for now. That's right, I have actually found, been offered, and accepted summer employment. I will be a legal intern in the Criminal Division at the Wyoming Attorney General's office, exactly the job I wanted. It doesn't pay all that much, but the experience will be phenomenal. The AG's office handles all the appeals in Wyoming, so I will be taking a trial record and handling the appeal. This means briefing and arguing before the Wyoming Supreme Court. That is fabulous experience.
It's very exciting to think that I'll actually be practicing law in two and a half months.
Incidentally, as a little plug for my law school, how many people out there are almost guaranteed to argue a case before a state supreme court if they want to before they graduate? Damn few. I haven't heard of any other places that have it so commonly. One of the nice things about this school is that the court and the school have such a great relationship that should any student have that goal going in, there's really no reason the person wouldn't be able to do it, whether it be clinic work or by getting a sweet summer job like myself.
Incidentally, public congrats to Travis, who will be the next Student Director of the Domestic Violence Legal Assistance Clinic.
Congrats! That's really, really awesome!
