On Thursday, April 3 at 4 PM, attorney and WKU History/Legal Studies alumnus Trip Carpenter will speak on “Preparing for Law School and Building a Meaningful Career.” His talk will be in HCIC Multipurpose Room/1011 (the large back room in the Honors College building).
Trip Carpenter graduated as Scholar of the College in May 2014 with a History major and Legal Studies minor (one of the first graduates from our then-new minor). His Honors thesis, “Where’s Jonesville? How the Destruction of Jonesville Left a Legacy of Housing Discrimination in Bowling Green” was the Honors Thesis of the Year in 2014 and provided much of the scholarly basis for the Kentucky Museum’s current Jonesville exhibit.
Since graduation, Trip earned his MA from Columbia University in Human Rights Studies in 2016 and earned his JD from New York University School of Law in May 2022, where he served as an editor of the Law Review and graduated third in his class. In between, he worked in the Office of the Mayor of New York City as a procurement analyst in the Women/Minorities Business Enterprise Program and clerked for the national ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project. Currently, Trip serves as a Judicial Law Clerk for the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City and spent last year as a Judicial Law Clerk for the United States District Court for the southern district of New York in Brooklyn.
Students in any majors/minors interested in applying to law school or thinking about a career in law will benefit greatly from his talk and advice.
