Dean's Desk: Students Find Clerkships In Smaller Counties Rewarding, Austen L. Parrish
Austen Parrish (2014-2022)
The students at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law come to Bloomington from all over the nation. During their summers, the temptation is for them to work in the country’s largest cities, often with the majority working in Indianapolis, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York.
