"I had a wonderful time as a law clerk at the Cook County Office of the Public Guardian. I worked in the juvenile division, which represents children in abuse and neglect proceedings, as both the attorney and guardian ad litem. Because I had my 7-11 license (in Illinois, senior law students are eligible for a license to practice in a limited manner under Supreme Court Rule 7-11), I was able to stand up on several cases in court under the supervision of an attorney."
