 "The
externship program allowed me the opportunity to deal with matters of
life or death. I worked with attorneys across the country, challenging
the constitutionality of the juvenile death penalty. I learned that things
are seldom what they seem and, as attorneys, we need to look beneath the
surface, for that is where the truth often lies." -Jontae Chatman
