When I returned to Notre Dame to teach in the Legal Aid Clinic, I was confident that I would enjoy working with the professors who had taught me so well. However, I was somewhat apprehensive about leaving a career I loved. I have not been disappointed by my decision. The clinic offers both student and professor a blend of the best a law firm and a law school have to offer. We are engaged in challenging legal work, but in an environment that fosters exploration and creative thinking. I became a lawyer for the purpose of providing competent legal services to the poor. Notre Dame has allowed me to share this important work with the future of the legal profession — our students.
