To Whom it May Concern,
Please find attached my resume for your consideration. After graduating from Notre
Dame Law School, I am looking to return home to excel as an advocate. The opportunity
to work in DuPage County allows me to cultivate my legal skills while bringing in
business from the area I grew up. Moreover, working in DuPage offers an ideal
environment for me to develop into a fully-rounded attorney, creating a mutually
beneficial relationship for both my employer and me.
During my time at Notre Dame Law School, I have demonstrated my success both
inside and out of the classroom. Through my first two years, I garnered a GPA of
3.617/4.00, demonstrating my aptitude in the classroom. My efforts garnered a faculty-
nominated position as a panelist representing the Class of 2011 to the Notre Dame Law
Association Board. I balanced my academic success with many extracurricular activities,
including an officer appointment on the Journal of Legislation, as well publication in the
upcoming edition. Supplementing my academic success, I summered in two successful
but distinct law firms. Most recently, I worked at Paul Hastings, working in a wide array
of departments while completing training programs to continue my advocacy ability. In
my first summer, I worked at Meckler, Bulger, Tilson, Marick, & Pearson, assisting top
partners with research, drafting and filing of court documents, depositions, and
generating strategies. Prior to law school, I worked in both political and international
non-profit forums, acquiring valuable professional experience in an array of settings.
I have attached my resume for your consideration. I look forward to meeting with you to
discuss my role please contact me immediately. If you have any questions or require any
additional materials please do not hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
Shawn Clancy
