See you Thursday! Prof. C.

What sparked your career change? How did you know you wanted to become a judge?
When did you realize that law was the best field for you? Since we are starting this journey, what piece of advice would you give us?
Thank you Adriana and Mirian for these great questions! THERE’S STILL TIME for everyone else to post questions! Please do!
See you soon, Prof. C.
Has working as a legislative aide been difficult? If so what would you say is the most difficult part?
