Externship Spotlights

Enrique Fuller-Avalos (’26 J.D.)

U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Washington

“On the criminal side, I drafted indictments and plea agreements involving firearms, drugs, and child sex offenses, assisted with cases through trial, and developed firsthand experience with prosecutorial discretion. On the civil side, I led an investigation in coordination with the EPA and SBA and prepared for depositions. I spent much of my time briefing Ninth Circuit appeals involving due process, compassionate release, and constitutional issues in immigration proceedings, while also gaining exposure to False Claims Act and Chapter 7 bankruptcy matters.”

Chloe Ross (’26 J.D.)

Washington State Court of Appeals, Division III

“During my time at the court, I worked under two supervising law clerks, initially reviewing their research memoranda and verifying citations and legal authority. I then completed three research memoranda on family and criminal law matters that were submitted to the judge to assist in ruling on cases. I also participated in chambers meetings and helped review and edit law clerk memoranda and draft judicial opinions.”

America Sanchez (’26 J.D.)

Parke Gordon Personal Injury Law Firm

“During my first year, I developed a foundation in personal injury law through automobile collision cases, reviewing case law and medical records and drafting demand letters and witness declarations. During my second year, I focused on litigation, working on premises liability, animal injury, and assault cases and handling pleadings, discovery, and legal research. I also gained firsthand exposure to case strategy through meetings with attorneys, physicians, and clients, as well as my first observations of depositions and mediations.”
