"I started law school for a number of reasons, ranging from having a general interest in the law to being bored with my career," Clements said.

During his time in law school, Clements has participated on the moot court and trial teams. He feels that his experiences in student organizations have helped to enhance his law school career.


"You have the opportunity to develop skills, especially in the organizations I am involved in," Clements said. "Additionally, I've become very good friends with the people I've worked with."

Clements has also worked on the school's law review and is currently serving as its executive editor. He said that, in his experience, the job is a lot of work and quoted a professor, Donald Garner, who said, "[E]mployers don't look for students who were in law review because they have any special skills; employers seek them because being on law review demonstrates you are willing to do a ridiculous amount of work."

Last summer, Clements interned in the legal department of Raycom Media, a broadcasting company based in Montgomery. His work consisted primarily of contract work, and he enjoyed the fact that attorneys there dealt with a wide variety of legal jobs rather than specializing in just one. Due to graduate this year, Clements said he would not mind receiving a call from Raycom but is looking into clerkships for the time being. Beyond that, he is unsure of what field he wants to pursue after graduation.

"Realistically, what you end up doing is likely defined by who hires you," Clements said. "I have a niche with my information technology background...so if I find something related to that, great!"

After three years of studying law, Clements says that some of his favorite courses and professors have been the ones who challenged him.

"I particularly like the 'rule'-based courses," Clements said. "In an odd way, they seem kind of like big board games played with a really complicated set of rules. I also really enjoy the practical skills classes such as appellate and trial advocacy. I've found the advocacy classes have improved my writing skills, public speaking skills, and self-confidence."

Q. What do you do for fun?
A. I play in a bluegrass band, and I'm into vintage Vespas.
Q. What CD is in your CD player right now?
A. Anodyne by Uncle Tupelo.
Q. What is the last magazine you read?
A. Cover to cover? No clue. I did look at the "Dos and Don'ts" section of my wife's Self magazine the other day; does that count?
Q. What is your favorite TV show?
A. Of all time...Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Currently, who has time?
Q. Who is your role model?
A. It sounds cheesy but my father. He works very hard and is always kind.

In his spare time, Clements plays the mandolin in his bluegrass band, the Coosa River Broadcasters. The other band members are all practicing attorneys; they play the banjo, upright bass, and guitar.

Clements has been married for a little more than three years and says that he is fortunate to have a wife who has supported him in his decision to change careers and who was willing to make a move from Chicago to Montgomery.
