What were your duties as an NCLA intern?
I regularly conduct legal research, write memoranda of law and portions of appellate briefs. I also help attorneys identify and capitalize on litigation opportunities for separation-of-powers issues and the Administrative State.
What did you most enjoy about your internship?
I really admire everyone that I work with. Besides being extremely talented at what they do, they are also incredibly nice and genuine people.
What interesting thing(s) did you learn about Administrative Law?
I continue to be amazed by how much of the average American’s day-to-day life is affected by Administrative Law. Since I started here, I have become even more passionate about protecting civil liberties against processes that are too often one-sided.
How might you use what you’ve learned later in your professional career?
I pick up nuggets of wisdom about litigation from the attorneys that I work with that I write down in my notebook for the future. I have also become a much faster and more effective legal researcher.
Any advice for other students who want to intern at NCLA in the future?
Passion is important; if you have it, show it!
