Randal Finger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our student contributor is 2L Randal Finger. Randal was born and raised in Germantown, Wisconsin, and lives there now. He attended Ripon College and where he received a Politics & Government degree. While at Ripon College, Randal had a practicing attorney as an adjunct professor, which, he said, solidified his decision to attend law school. Over the summer, he worked downtown at Northwestern Mutual as a summer clerk, working on a variety of projects throughout the company. He noted that he has grown fond of real estate law throughout his short time in law school and his time at Northwestern and is the treasurer of the Real Estate Law Society at Marquette. As of now, Randal said he hopes to practice \u201csomewhere in the real estate realm,\u201d but is open to other areas. \u201cI understand that my limited exposure to law in the real world could mean that there is something out there that I enjoy much more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Welcome to Rebeca and to Randal. We look forward to your contributions.<\/p>\n
