We had a chance to catch up with Alyssa Millane, WFU Law Class of 2028, and see what she’s been up to this summer. Here’s what she had to say:

“At the Mecklenburg County Public Defender’s Office, we spend our days in court with our supervising attorneys, interviewing clients, police officers, and prosecuting witnesses. We also meet with clients in jail to provide case updates, conduct legal research on niche issues in support of dismissal, review discovery, and draft motions and other court documents. Outside of the office, us interns hang out and explore Charlotte together on the weekends.”

We love seeing our students thrive in their summer legal positions, but we can’t wait to have them back in August!

Thank you for giving us an inside look at your summer Alyssa ✨

See you at the [snack] bar ✨

The OCPD had the privilege of supporting our recent grads as they head into the last month of prepping for the bar exam. Make sure to swing by campus to pick up a treat!
