Deika Albert, '27, stood before a three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on September 17 to argue a federal criminal appeal—an experience she described as both “incredibly exciting and nerve-wracking.”

A student in the Jenner & Block Supreme Court and Appellate Clinic, Albert argued United States v. Shelton before Judges Frank Easterbrook, Ilana Rovner, and Rebecca Taibleson, under the direct supervision of Clinical Professor Sarah Konsky, who is director of the clinic.

“Walking up to the podium in front of a panel of prominent judges, and knowing that my argument could have an effect on our client and on Seventh Circuit precedent, made the stakes very real in a way that moot courts or academic experiences don’t quite replicate,” Albert said.

While working in the Institute for Justice Clinic on Entrepreneurship this summer, Jacob Judd '26 and Kelly DeMatties '28 visited client Wild Blossom Meadery.

Wild Blossom's owner, Greg Fischer, provided an in-depth tour of the production facility, tasting room, and gardens, where he transforms honey produced by his bees into a wide variety of wines and beverages.

The better that students in the IJ Clinic understand their clients' businesses and the entrepreneurs' personal goals, the better advice they can provide about financing, licensing, real estate, staffing, supplier agreements, and more.
