Joan Burroughs, ASL Class of ’11, returns to ASL

 

Joan Burroughs, ASL Class of ’11, visited campus today and spoke with Professor Stewart Harris’s classes about constitutional law, the appellate process, and her own career path.  Just two years out of ASL, Joan is an Assistant Public Defender in Richmond, where she argues before the Virginia Court of Appeals on a regular basis, and will soon argue an important case before the Virginia Supreme Court.

Professor Harris’s students were enthusiastic about Joan’s classroom appearances.  “She is so articulate,” noted one student.  “She gives me hope in this tough job market,” noted another.

Thanks to Joan for coming home and giving back to ASL.  We are proud of her.
