To the generous Texas Law Fellowship donors:

This past summer I worked for the Civil Division of the United States Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles.  In just three months, I had the opportunity to work on a diverse array of cases ranging from administrative law and constitutional tort suits to employment discrimination and Freedom of Information Act requests, all under the mentorship and guidance of the incredible Assistant U.S. Attorneys of the Central District of California.  In addition to providing legal research and drafting motions, I also participated in several off-site visits to the various federal agencies of the Central District.  I interviewed Customs and Border Patrol officers at Los Angeles International Airport for an employment discrimination suit, toured the Metropolitan Detention Center where federal criminal defendants are held awaiting trial, and received hands-on training in the FBI’s use of deadly force policy from the Swat Team’s captain.

My time at the USAO was the most rewarding and memorable experience of my 1L year – and you made it possible.  Thank you for your kind and thoughtful donations to the TLF Fund.  I am grateful for your generosity and honored to be a Texas Law Fellowship recipient.

Thank you,
Christopher Larson
