Earthrise Summer Extern Scores Clerkship with her Writing Skills
Congratulations to Earthrise summer clerk, Julia Fraser as she begins her new litigation clerkship for Meredith Long out of Kelso, Washington. Long was impressed with Fraser’s writing abilities in her Request for Stay in a matter against Northwest Pipeline, LLC on behalf of Cowlitz County Cemetery District No. 6. Fraser worked with Earthrise attorney, Tom Buchele to develop the Request.
Meredith Long runs a private practice that focuses on disputes involving contracts, businesses, real estate, trusts and estates, and elder law issues. “I went to watch her represent our client on their other matter in Washington Superior court and I felt like we would work well together so I jumped at the chance…. While its not substantively environmental, it’s an amazing opportunity to get experience in litigation and to be mentored by a female attorney,” said Fraser.
