2015 First-Year Fellow: Kelsey Flower '18
Judge John Mott '81, in whose office I worked this summer as a First-Year Fellow, is a federal judge the Washington DC Superior Court. In the 15 years he has been a judge he has rotated through several courts, including family and criminal, but has been a civil judge for the past several years. Judge Mott is given a large number of civil cases to preside over each year. Each case is not just a simple trial, but involves many meetings with the Judge in the form of status hearings, pre-trial conferences, mediation sessions, and more, which happen over the course of several weeks or months.
