Elizabeth Mendoza: Legal Practice Assistant
Name: Elizabeth Mendoza
Major: Economics and Spanish
Current Position/Status: I am currently working at Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP in Palo Alto, CA as a Legal Practice Assistant in the Labor and Employment practice group.
Graduated: Winter 2024
What do you do in your current position? What is your work like?
I have really been enjoying the opportunity to get hands-on experience in the legal field before starting law school. I have had the chance to travel to SF for a 3-week trial in federal court involving a network of hospitals. And following that I went to another week long trial in Eugene, OR where I assisted on a trial involving a larger retailer.
What is next for you?
I will be attending the University of San Francisco! All these experiences have helped prepare me for law school, which I will be starting in the fall. I feel fortunate to be where I am today and am so thankful for the people that helped me get here.
