Beasley Allen's 2022 Summer Law Clerk Kickoff with Ryan Duplechin
We are excited to kick off our 2022 Summer Law Clerk Program!
https://www.beasleyallen.com/
Like many large law firms, Beasley Allen enjoys providing a number of law students with the opportunity, as law clerks, to gain first-hand exposure to the everyday practice of law. We have an exceptional group this summer. Working at Beasley Allen will allow the law clerks to learn more about the legal profession, make professional contacts in their chosen field and gain valuable skills to transition from the classroom to the courtroom.
https://www.beasleyallen.com/about/
Ryan Duplechin, a lawyer in the firm’s Mass Torts Section, oversees and organizes the firm’s internship program to provide interns with a balance of exposure to practicing law combined with numerous networking opportunities that allow interns the chance to establish and build relationships with some of the firm’s seasoned attorneys. Each clerk is assigned a Beasley Allen lawyer as a mentor. This mentor is available to answer questions about projects, practice, or law school. The clerks also attend court hearings, trials, depositions, client interviews, and Alabama Supreme Court oral arguments.
