Welcome to Personal Jurisdiction! per·son·al ju·ris·dic·tion | \ ˈpər-sə-nəl \ˌju̇r-əs-ˈdik-shən When you look up “Personal Jurisdiction” in Black’s Law Dictionary, it directs you to the entry for “Jurisdiction.” We won’t do that to you. We’re here because there’s not enough good information available for law students and new attorneys to make informed choices about their careers. Join co-hosts Allison Freedman and Hallie Ritzu as we talk to a variety of people within the first 10ish years of practice to hear about their journeys to fulfilling careers and the advice they have for getting there. From government to start-ups; politics to academia; in-house to legal aid—we’ll get the scoop on what it’s really like to work in different areas of the law, so you can chart your own course for success.

Let's Get Personal with Preston Hollis & Jacqueline Martinez, Federal District Court Law Clerks (D. N.M.)

Let's Get Personal with Preston Hollis & Jacqueline Martinez, Federal District Court Law Clerks (D. N.M.)

Calling all interested in clerkships! In this special episode, Preston Hollis and Jacqueline Martinez share their experience as current co-clerks on the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico. They discuss their path to clerking (hint: neither of them knew they wanted to clerk, or really even what a clerkship was, when they started law school), how different judicial externships led them down the path to clerking, what their day-to-day looks like as a federal district court clerk, and advice they have for people who want to clerk. Spoiler--one of their best pieces of advice is to not count yourself out! So if you've ever thought about clerking, this episode is for you.

Preston is a 2023 graduate of the University of New Mexico School of Law and a 2009 graduate of Southwestern University. He also holds a Master of Arts from St. John's College.

Jacqueline is a 2023 graduate of the University of New Mexico School of Law and a 2018 graduate of the University of New Mexico School of Engineering.
