From classrooms to courtrooms: our students are making an impact even on summer break. Check out what Mary McCullough (JD ‘26) had to say about her summer in our #LegalDeac Summers spotlight!
“I had the BEST summer at the DAs office. I spent everyday in the courtroom either running the docket or doing misdemeanor trials. I even got to work on a big Superior court case that came back with all four guilty verdicts. I loved everyone I worked with. It was such a welcoming environment. I loved it so much I`ll be externing in the spring!”
“I learned so much about the courtroom, but also learned the importance of relationships. Not just within my office-but within the WSPD, judges, and defense attorneys. We all work together day in and day out.”
