UF Law student Christian Jubran (JD 27) is preparing to take the next step in his legal education through the Semester in Practice program, where he will be clerking with the U.S. House Judiciary Committee in Washington, D.C., this fall.

In a recent profile, Christian reflects on how UF Law’s experiential learning opportunities, faculty support, and professional development resources helped him secure the opportunity and prepare for practice.

“What makes the Semester in Practice program so valuable is that UF doesn't just give students access to these placements; it integrates them,” Christian said. “It means I'm not parachuting in; I'm arriving as someone whose training was designed to lead here.”
