Life After Bates
<\/h2>
\u201cI am currently a law student at Washington and Lee University, where I received a full tuition scholarship for all three years. I just finished my first year at the law school, and I am now in the process of trying to join a law journal. This summer, I will be working for a legal aid organization, the Legal Aid Justice Center, in their office in Falls Church, Virginia. I really enjoyed my first year of law school and had a great time playing flag football on Fridays during the fall semester.
After graduation but before law school, I had an internship with a legal aid organization near my home in Maryland called Shore Legal Access, and I held that internship until December of 2023 when I got a temporary job with Shore Legal that lasted until I started law school in August.\u201d
