My clerkship at the SJC has been an excellent experience and the perfect post law-school job. Our last set of oral arguments was in May, and we're currently at work finishing up the term before reparing for the one that begins in September. My office is in the new Adams Courthouse, which was a home to the SJC at the beginning of the twentieth century but had since fallen into disrepair. The Commonwealth completed a complete renovation of the massive building, and my judge (Justice Robert Cordy) played a key role in the renovation. He would want me to mention that, anytime you're in the neighborhood (Pemberton Square - between the State House and Government Center), you should feel free to stop by and see the SJC's courtroom and the amazing frescoed Great Hall. It's an incredible place to work in day and day out. It's also outfitted with all the latest A-V gadgets, and in September, you'll be able to see SJC arguments (first full week of every month) on the web
here.
As you may know, I passed the Mass bar and was sworn in (by none other than Justice Cordy) in December. On September 26, I'll be joining Goodwin Procter's Boston office - specifically, as an associate its environmental practice group. I am looking forward to the new challenges and opportunities of the position.
On the home front, Sarah and I moved in March into a brand new condo in a rehabilitated mill building, right in Amesbury's downtown. It's a fantastic spot, right on the Powow River, with two levels but a loft-like feel. We are renting the unit for the year, but we are currently looking to make a move to the neighborhood of Sarah's vet school (Tufts, in Grafton, outside of Worcester). We need to move, on account of Sarah's coming duties at the vet hospital during her clinical rotations (she has to go in and check on her patients just about every day and work approximately 70-80 hours a week) and a possible residency at the hospital thereafter. So, we'll both be very busy for the foreseeable future!
