Beaudry and Pe\u00f1a are taking part in semester-long residencies with the Minnesota Supreme Court this semester.<\/p>\n

The residencies aren\u2019t typical internships for law students; they\u2019re essentially full-time clerk positions. The students are earning a semester\u2019s worth of law school credits while doing research and writing memos for the justices.<\/p>\n

For Pe\u00f1a, the experience has given her a real world look at the law, something she doesn\u2019t think she could have gotten just by studying in a classroom. \u201cI think there\u2019s no better way to learn how to do something than by doing it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Beaudry said the residency is helping her forge a path toward a career in public interest law. She taught in St. Paul for a decade before starting law school. So far, she’s found her experience teaching English and her passion for writing have come in handy working for the court.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love being able to research and go more in-depth in areas of the law,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Supreme Court isn\u2019t the only place where Mitchell Hamline has residencies in place. Students have also had semester-long stints with the Minnesota Vikings and 3M. That effort is now expanding with dozens of additional corporations, law firms, government organizations, and courts expressing an interest in hosting residents from Mitchell Hamline in the future.<\/p>\n

Businesses, corporations, government and nonprofit organizations, and law firms interested in offering semester-long residencies to Mitchell Hamline students should contact Rick Petry ’98 (HUSL)<\/strong><\/a>, Mitchell Hamline\u2019s assistant director of career and professional development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen graduates arrive at a law firm, or start working for a judge or inside a business organization, they show up far better prepared than if they hadn\u2019t had this kind of an opportunity,\u201d Petry said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
