The firm assigned two attorneys, Ben and Kale, who gave me personal attention and mentorship from the start. I had no shortage of assignments during the summer, and I got the chance to work with nearly every attorney in the firm. The friendly staff and attorneys always made me feel like a valued member of the team. Some highlights from the summer were attending client meetings about estate planning, drafting resolutions for county water management boards, preparing for and observing a deposition, and researching property and zoning laws. In addition, I got to enjoy fun events organized by the firm and experience all that the greater St. Cloud area has to offer. I learned so much about the practice of law during my summer with Rinke Noonan.” Gabe Bauer “From week one at Rinke Noonan, I was entrusted with substantive and interesting projects that I had the pleasure of seeing develop over my tenure with the firm. As a 1L, I had reservations about jumping into the summer work, but every attorney I worked with was diligent and patient in explaining their assignments which set me up for success over the summer. Finally, even though class was out, I cannot stress enough how much I learned over the course of the clerkship; the partners care about your growth and development – without their often meticulous, but always kind, feedback, I would not have been able to re-enter law school with a sharper mind and the new tools at my disposal.” Luc Berard “Working as a summer associate at Rinke Noonan was one of the most rewarding experiences of my law school career. While I worked with attorneys across practice areas, I found my niche in the environmental law practice which sparked a passion for helping farmers navigate complex legal matters. The feedback and encouragement I received during my time at Rinke Noonan helped me grow into a person who was confident in their professional work product. I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything.” Sean Meginness
