Sidra Vitale, ’07, New England Law Fellow 2007-2008“Sidra’s work with the residents of Brockton and West Bridgewater ties directly back to the Environmental Advocacy class she had as a student. That’s when she first learned how government agencies, public interest groups, community activists, and policy makers really interact.” Read More |

David J. Fredette, ’99, Assistant District Attorney, Homicide Unit“One of the interesting things about Dave is that he did not start right in with criminal work as a student. He completed all of his clinical training doing civil work. The fact that he graduated with a high comfort level in the courtroom and a keen ability to work with clients in difficult circumstances ties back to the clinics he participated in as part of his studies.” Read More |

He was instrumental in gathering together a group of students to discuss topics in business law—domain name disputes, software shrink-wrap licenses, and so forth. They demonstrated the interest in and viability of what eventually grew into the Center for Business Law.” Read More |
