For the past 15 years, Strauss Troy has participated in the Summer Work Experience in Law (SWEL) program. SWEL is an eight-week program that operates from approximately mid-June through early August that helps African American students make an informed decision when it comes to entering law school and the legal profession. SWEL sets the stage for each scholar’s own self-discovery by exposing them to the inherent opportunities and challenges of practicing law through summer work experiences, coaching and networking.
This summer we welcome our intern, Jules Hamilton. Jules has been a great addition to our team. Read on to learn a little bit more about Jules.
