From 1967 to 1968, I served as a law clerk to U.S. District Judge Frank A. Kaufman. This role provided me with invaluable insight into the federal judicial system and the practical application of legal principles at the trial court level. Working closely with Judge Kaufman, I assisted in legal research, drafting opinions, and reviewing case materials. An experience that helped shape my understanding of the judiciary and sharpened my skills as a legal professional.
