Second year law student, Marc Theriault, was recently selected as the law student who is invited to join the State Bar of California’s Litigation Section for “A Week in Legal London” and the “Oxford University Summer Program” in July 2006.

 

The State Bar of California’s Legal London/Oxford Committee Chairman, Donald W. Barber said “Marc was chosen because he is a deserving student who has worked hard to achieve his goals.  He has also participated in an interesting variety of extra curricular and work activities which show a healthy interest in the world around him.”  These activities include internships with both the International Government Affairs Division of Pfizer, Inc. in New York and the Virginia Office of the Governor in Richmond, Virginia.

 

The program offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience the inner workings of the English legal system, expand litigation skills and engage in thought –provoking discussions with distinguished members of the London legal community.  Participants attend sessions at the Royal Courts of Justice, the Old Bailey, the High Court of Justice and attend luncheons at historic Inns of Court generally exclusive to members of the British legal community.
