The Ernst Law Firm — A law practice dedicated to serving the small and mid-sized businesses of Ohio
““My experience contributing to the treatise formed the foundation for what is now a flourishing practice, and I regularly draw on the principles I learned while researching and organizing the law for this work. Participation in a project like this is wonderful experience for a student interested pursuing a career in tort litigation and trial practice.””
““Working as a research and writing assistant was a very beneficial position. The position helped me to hone my research, writing, and analyzing skills. I was exposed to many different areas of law which helped to broaden my understanding of law. Working for Christopher was a great experience overall!””
“ “I was hesitant to add an extra obligation to my schedule first year of law school. However, once I joined Christopher and the team, I realized that I had made the right decision. I was able to step back from the day to day grind in law school and look at recent cases, analyze the law and develop my writing skills. As an accounting major, I struggled to get back into the swing of writing, but this opportunity assisted me by providing timely feedback and recommendations. There is no doubt that this experience was a large contributor to help me succeed in my second and third years of law school, and ultimately, where I am today.””
““I found working with Christopher very easy. The work was consistent but manageable. The opportunity was great to learn about many conflicts in the area of tort law.””
““Working with Christopher on this project was terrific. The expectations and goals for us were outlined from day one, and I always received clear instructions and constructive feedback.””
““I learned a lot from this project through Christopher’s feedback and types of cases that we worked on. I think this project helped improve my writing analysis skills.””
““The experience will benefit law students in at least two ways: (1) the writing style will force students to become much more concise writers; (2) the sheer number of cases will force students to identify and extract a case’s of the most relevant information much more quickly than they otherwise would. These are both great skills to have, and I am sure that they will continue to serve me well.””
““Writing for Baldwin’s Ohio Practice: Tort Law (West/Thomson) was an enlightening portion of my legal education. It was a practical expansion of legal theory I was being taught in classes, and a great way to learn how to navigate tort law as applied in Ohio courts on a day-to-day basis.””
““The ability to take an entire court decision and distill it down to a few key sentences is an important skill that this position cultivates.””
““Through my work on Baldwin’s Ohio Practice: Tort Law, I was able to develop enhanced legal writing and analytical skills. Those skills have not only been beneficial to my law school coursework, they also helped me gain a position on law review. I strongly encourage any student to consider this valuable opportunity.””
““Working with Christopher was a great experience that helped me find my legal research and writing. Perspective employers also looked positively on my time with the project and often discussed it with me during interviews.” ”
“I had an incredible experience working with Christopher on this project. Not only did I improve my writing skills, but I also improved my ability to find what is important when reading a case. I have already seen these skills immensely help me in my law school career and work experiences. I highly recommend participating in this experience!””
