Having spent the previous summer working with the public defender in Nashville, Sincere Richards '09 wanted to learn more about transactional law-contracts, negotiations, mergers and acquisitions. The SiP program matched Richards with Koby Bailey, an attorney with Nicor Advanced Energy LLC, a diversified utility company headquartered in Chicago.

Jessica Werber '07 had several goals for her SiP experience: to improve her research and writing skills, gain greater substantive knowledge in an area of environmental law, learn how a law firm worked as a business, and, incidentally, scope out the Washington, D.C. area, where she thought she might like to practice.
