Most interesting project:
A pro bono project I did for Sally Olson. For the project, I was working on establishing paternity for a man whose ex-wife would not allow him to see his daughter. It was so different than what you always hear about in the news—deadbeat dads trying to avoid taking responsibility—this time we were helping a guy who wanted to care for his child and was willing to help pay support in any way he could. Unfortunately, the project hit a few bumps and we were not able to complete what we had started. However, the experience of writing a petition and researching the issues was extremely valuable.

Favorite extracurricular activity:
My favorite activity was by far the two volleyball matches the summers had against the associates. I would have to say the first one was the best, but that's because the summers won and it was extremely fun to watch [fellow summer associate] Shannon Travis spike a ball on Brad Hansen. However, even though we lost the rematch a week or so later, it was still a great experience—both to bond with the other summers in a different way and in getting to know more associates and partners.

Biggest difference between my time at the firm and what I had expected:
I think the biggest difference was the friendliness of the people. Not only did I make some extremely close friends in the summer class, I was also shocked by how well the associates and partners got along with each other and with us. It was a great feeling to come into work and be excited to see the people you were going to work with.

Most interesting project:
A position statement I wrote for David Weinstein, in preparation for the mediation of an employment discrimination dispute. Our client was an attorney who owned his own legal practice. The dispute involved a law student who had worked for him as a clerk, and alleged sexual harassment, retaliation and breach of employment contract. I wrote a letter to the mediator, setting forth the facts of the case, and outlining the legal arguments in our client's favor.

Favorite extracurricular activity:
The wine tasting at Osteria Via Stato with Alpana Singh. The food was excellent, and it was a great way to start to get to know some Wildman attorneys.

Biggest difference between my time at the firm and what I expected:
The biggest surprise for me was how much I learned about the law over the course of the summer. It seemed like the attorneys could really use the summer associates' help, and they kept us busy. I got to do a lot of real work, and the summer flew by.
