Whittier Law School Student Profile 2007
	“My goal as a Center for Children's Rights fellow at Whittier Law School is to promote the best interest of children, and to educate others about the reality of life in the welfare system. Before acceptance at Whittier, I worked as a counselor and motivational speaker to children in juvenile detention, residential treatment, and foster care. However, the depth of my knowledge and experience came from fifteen years of my childhood as a ‘ward' of the courts. The compassion of those who made careers out of my best interest was the key to my success. The CCR program provides a multi-faceted approach to representing children, and its colloquiums provide the CCR Fellows and interested students a comprehensive knowledge of the underserved and neglected needs of a large percentage of children in our nation.” Michelle McKinney '07, CCR Fellow

“As a patent agent, I was attracted to Whittier's many intellectual property course offerings when choosing a law school. The quality of teaching here is as high, or higher, than that of any other school I have attended. Furthermore, as a student at Whittier, I have been able to apply what I learn directly to my job. I find that my arguments before the United States Patent Office are tighter and more persuasive than they were before I started law school.” Brent A. Johnson '08, Ph.D., Patent Agent, Allergan, Inc.

	Third-year Whittier Law School student, Rosemary Marcell, spent the summer of 2004 and 2005 studying law in France. She studied at the University of Toulouse in southwestern France through Whittier Law School's ABA Accredited Summer Abroad Program. "Taking a variety of courses, visiting the French courts and interacting with the Justices in France has greatly enhanced my legal training in addition to providing a unique opportunity to develop a network of international contacts.” Rosemary Marcell '07
