It has been a while since I have talked to all you non traditional law students.  I have been extremely busy lately with trial classes and clinical internships.  Because I am a weekend student (and must work full time) the only internship I could reasonably take was the Estate Planning Clinic.  But how cool it is!  I am meeting with clients and drafting their Wills, POAs, Letters of Instruction, Deeds, etc.

If you ever have the opportunity to participate in an internship, do it.  If at all possible, find the time.  The experience is phenominal.  I don’t think there is any other class that I have enjoyed so much.  I am given great responsibility and challenged every day with exploring the law in depth and thinking outside of the box to effectuate the best outcomes for my clients.  The human interaction really puts things into perspective.  In an internship you have the opportunity to take your abstract legal knowledge and apply it to real life situations.  You have the opportunity to really affect peoples lives.

It is a great responsibility, but it has great rewards.  I hope you can have as great a time as I am having now.

God bless and have a great night.
