How was your summer?

My summer had nonstop activities! I worked full time at a law firm handling estate planning, bankruptcy, and domestic disputes, worked on an appellate criminal pro-bono case, took some courses, and traveled to California, Texas, and Arizona to visit family. It’s been a crazy few months, but I enjoyed it.

You were born and raised in California. Having spent the last couple years in Nevada, how do you compare the two neighboring states?
