Amanda Shoffel, City of Philadelphia Law Department, Civil Rights Unit

Peter Towne, Associate, Iannella & Mummolo, Boston, Massachusetts
I was placed in the DA’s office in the Roxbury District Court, which is one of the busiest in Suffolk County.

David J. Fredette, 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.”

Matthew I. Growney, ’00, Founder and Managing Partner
“Matthew has great energy, but he also has a talent for focusing on an idea, thinking it through, then galvanizing people into action around that idea. 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.”
