Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge welcomed a new class of law clerks for the first summer session with the attorney general's office including a Texarkana, Texas, student.
"These law students work in various departments assisting with legal research, drafting memos and legal documents and accompanying lawyers at trials, client meetings and hearings," Rutledge said.
"The law clerk program exposes students to the fulfilling experience of public service," he said. "Law clerks play a valuable role for the state which this program uses to foster relationships with burgeoning attorneys and provide an opportunity for students to experience a great service-learning environment as they work closely with some of Arkansas' top attorneys."
Julia Stover, a third-year student at the University of Arkansas School of Law, is clerking in the Civil Department. She graduated from the University of Arkansas with a double major in criminal justice and sociology in 2016. Stover graduated from Pleasant Grove High School in Texarkana, Texas, in 2013.
