JD Class of 2026

“Coming into law school, I expected to be on my own in seeking career opportunities. I could not have been more wrong! From day one, the staff and faculty assisted me in discovering my desired career path. Advisors, professors, and deans—all acknowledged my interest in federal courts and appellate practice and enthusiastically worked with me one-on-one toward my goal of clerking for a judge. From my experience with the Texas Supreme Court, federal district courts to, and private practice litigation — all leading to my post-graduation clerkship at the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals — I know I would not be where I am at the start of my legal career without the support of so many at Texas A&M!”

- Kathryn Keating ’24, Clerkship, U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals (after grad/bar)
