Hello everyone my name is Virice Webb Jr. I am a second year student at city tech. I have a major of law & paralegal studies. I chose my major, because I am highly interested in our country’s legal system. I intend to finish my bachelors degree here at city Tech, and attend law school afterwards. I knew I wanted to be a legal advocate, when I realized how good I am at advocating for others. Another reason why I knew I wanted to become a lawyer was my passion for debating my beliefs and views. I hope I can be a help to my community & the world . I enjoy discussing current events and court cases. I’m a huge animal lover. I have a dog, 24 African cichlids, and a bearded dragon. My favorite thing to do is travel. I love adventure. My next adventure will be to Kenya this spring. I intend to stay at the Maasai Mara safari national park, which shares a border with Tanzania’s Serengeti national park.

My name is Renee Williams, I am in the Law and Paralegal Studies program because I want to learn about the law and how it works. I’m in it because I want to make a positive impact on people as the demands for lawyers are needed every day. My goal is to become a divorce paralegal because it gives me the opportunity to help others that are going through a tough time in their marriage and it is a rewarding feeling to know you can help someone during a difficult process and see the benefit, they receive from your service. Something else about me is that I love to travel and go to new countries and experience new cultures.

Hello!  I am Kerin Coughlin, the instructor of this course!  I teach Law and Paralegal Studies at City Tech because I love the law, and I love teaching!  Many moons ago, I was a junior high school Social Studies teacher, then I became a lawyer, and I practiced law full-time for about twelve years.  During most of that time, I was a commercial litigator, which means I represented people and companies that either were suing companies, or getting sued.  While I was practicing full-time, I started teaching law part-time, and I really liked it, so I decided to switch it around.  This is my ninth year teaching full-time here at City Tech, and I love it!  My favorite part of teaching is working with students.  You’re awesome!

Something I want you to know about me is that I have two cats who I really love!  Their names are Minnie and Marco, they are six years old.  I just adopted them this past August from a family who lives upstate.  They are brother and sister.  They love to play, and to snuggle!  Here are photos of them — Marco on the left, Minnie on the right:

I’m confident this semester is going to be GREAT!!  I really look forward to working with all of you!
