I volunteered at the free legal clinic at Hennepin County’s Project Homeless Connect. I have worked with vln and other nonprofits to provide legal help to people who otherwise could not afford it.I graduated from William Mitchell College of Law (now Mitchell Hamline). I helped found the William Mitchell Journal of Law & Practice. As a founding member of the Journal I participated in developing the Journal’s Business Plan and served as a member of its editorial staff. I participated in organizing the Journal’s first symposium: “No Strings Attached—Regulating Judicial Campaign Speech: Judicial Elections in the Aftermath of Republican Party of Minnesota v.
