Life Before Dickinson Law:

A Dickinson Law Favorite:
The feeling of community. I feel supported in everything.

Why Dickinson Law?:
I come from a very small town, so the smaller class size and community helped me feel comfortable with moving my entire life 800 miles away to start this journey. The entire environment was so comfortable from the very beginning.

Law Clerk at Handler Henning and Rosenberg in Harrisburg

Favorite Course:
So far, my favorite course is Evidence.

On Choosing A Law School:
Make sure you feel comfortable with the environment, the people, the administration, and the town. You are entering into a very stressful but rewarding journey, and being comfortable with your surroundings and people will help things so much.
