To Do
Public Service
Christian Karim's, 2L, externship at a Michigan prosecutor’s office became a defining experience. He logged more than 423 hours of public service because he wanted to immerse himself in every aspect of courtroom work. He split his time between the office and the courtroom, and he even assisted in a high-profile murder trial.

because there’s such a great community here where everybody pushes each other to become
better every single day.”
