I'm well prepared for clerk positions

Danny Garcia

Danny Garcia 3L,
full time
2009 Summer Law clerk
for the Hennepin County Attorney's Office

“My legal education prepared me well for my summer clerk position at the Hennepin County Attorney's Office. In addition to doing research and drafting memos, I also had the opportunity to negotiate and try misdemeanor cases and argue evidentiary hearings. If I didn’t have good writing skills, which I learned in Mitchell’s WRAP program and used extensively during my previous summer clerkship at Leonard, Street, and Deinard, they would never have let me into the courtroom. Staff at the Office of Career and Professional Development really helped me prepare for interviews and reviewed my resume. The Office of Multicultural Affairs alerted me to open houses at Hennepin County so I had already met some of the attorneys before I started.”
