“The culture here dares you to dream big and then it helps you connect the dots to actually make those dreams a reality,” says Watts about Elon Law. “There’s a certain value in doing. You can sit in court all day and watch a thousands cases, you can assist and prepare with an attorney for a thousand cases, but there’s nothing like actually handing a case yourself.”
Watts, a 2011 graduate of Elon University and a 2015 graduate of Elon Law, is currently Law Clerk to Judge Robert N. Hunter, Jr., North Carolina Court of Appeals
