Recent Mitchell Hamline graduate Jessica Merkel ’18 is profiled in the January issue of Attorney at Law Magazine. Merkel was one of 46 Mitchell Hamline students to receive their degrees during winter commencement on Jan. 7. She was also one of what turned out to be a total of 16 graduates who were the first to complete Mitchell Hamline’s first-of-its-kind Hybrid J.D. program. Merkel and her fellow Hybrid J.D. graduates studied on an accelerated path, allowing them to finish the program in two-and-a-half to three years instead of four.
“I thought it was a great challenge,” Merkel said in the Attorney at Law profile. “And I have accomplished it.”
A few weeks after graduation, Merkel accepted a position at Ruder Ware in Wausau, Wis. She’ll practice in the firm’s trusts and estates department.
