I apologize for missing a few deadlines over the past months. It’s clearly an argument for going to law school in your 20s and not your late 30s/early 40s! After graduating in May from the University of Arizona’s James E. Rogers College of Law, I’ve been madly studying for the bar and accepted a clerkship with the presiding judge for Pima County in Tucson.
