Mackenzie Arnold Class of 2024 "My favorite class so far has been legal writing. Having a B.A. in English, I was warned that I probably wouldn’t like legal writing compared to my English classes. That was not true. I find joy in researching answers and crafting articulate and succinct writing pieces." J. D. Rimann Class of 2022 "Following the bar, I joined the Dallas office of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, before clerking for a federal district judge for a couple years.
