@julissalagunes
Aspiring attorney with strong litigation and legal research skills.
I am a dedicated legal professional currently pursuing my Juris Doctorate at the University of La Verne, where I have been recognized with the CALI Award for achieving the highest grade in my Trial Advocacy class. My academic journey is complemented by extensive hands-on experience in various legal roles, including my current position as a Litigation Secretary at The May Firm, where I manage litigation calendars and coordinate critical filings.
Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in legal research, case management, and client communication. My previous roles as a Law Clerk and Legal Support Assistant have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the legal process, allowing me to effectively support attorneys and streamline case preparation. I am passionate about advocating for clients and ensuring that justice is served, and I actively engage in organizations such as the Video Game Bar Association to further my knowledge in niche areas of law.
