@leahfischer
I support litigation teams with legal research, e-filing, trial preparation, and document drafting.
What I'm looking for
I've supported multiple litigation teams handling e-filing, court filings, pleadings, discovery, legal research, trial binders, and client communications.
At the Department of Justice internship, I researched criminal cases and wrote appellant briefs for the Deputy Attorney General. I've also managed fourteen mock trials at Trialcraft, creating questionnaires, tracking quotas in Excel, and coordinating attorneys, jurors, and video crews.
I also ran Phresh Pharm Husky Ranch, where I created client applications and legal contracts, managed customer relationships, and cared for Siberian Huskies and Pomeranians. I'm renewing my NALA paralegal certification and have completed a Master's in Animal Science and Behavior.
