Other event speakers included keynote speaker the Honorable Robert Humphreys of the Court of Appeals of Virginia, Jeffrey Brauch, Dean of Regent Law, and Alexis Fenell, student intern for the Virginia Beach General District Court.

“As a rising 2L who aspires to be a clerk, the Judicial Internship Program has provided me with invaluable experience in the courtroom seeing the judicial process take place,” said Fenell. “As I plan to practice law in Virginia this internship has given me the opportunity to familiarize myself with the local court system.”

Regent Law began the Judicial Internship Program in 1998 to provide students with experience working in the local court system. Intern projects may include writing legal memorandums, researching court proceedings, and touring jails or detention facilities.
