Normally, I’d expect to feel anxious in that kind of situation: the start of my career, meeting countless new people, being surrounded by some of the best lawyers in the country. Instead, I was completely at ease. I remember feeling that same way during the interview process. It’s a testament to the care that Blakes puts into its student program. That care extended well beyond interviews and orientation. From the student committee, to the lawyers, to the summer students, I received a consistent message: they are here for me if I need help. I’m proud to work at Blakes, and I look forward to my future here.”
