Alec Hubbard, ’26, is spending his as a summer associate at Faegre Drinker. “We hear in class about how it takes months or years for a case to get to trial, but actually having an attorney show me the timeline of a ‘simple’ claim and why it likely won’t get to court until late 2025 when it was started in 2022 was surprising. It helped me understand why litigation costs so much, why settlements are so common, and why there is a need for more lawyers,” he said. https://buff.ly/4dwGpRg
