What was your first job?
After college, I worked as a legal assistant at a law firm … in Belgium.
What advice would you give to a young student in law school?
Enjoy! This is the only time that you will be asked what the facts and holding were in A.A. Poultry Farms, Inc. v. Rose Acre Farms, Inc., without having to explain how the holding applies to your case and your client. Only law students and legislators get asked what the law should be, not what it is.
