“I did clerkships at three firms and my experience at Johnson Winter & Slattery was different and more rewarding. I believe this is because you are not confined to a particular practice group. You are exposed to different areas of law in a short period of time - some I had not even considered. Also, you have a lot more direct contact with partners. I found this meant I received more interesting work and feedback which was constructive and valuable.”     Sarah Hoban

I definitely finished my clerkship with the feeling that Johnson Winter & Slattery would be an excellent place to begin my legal career.”     Annabel Verco
