JACOB PODELL 
​
​Years: 2013-2017

Favorite Mock Trial Memory: It was the night after Round 3 of 2016 ORCS (my junior year). We as B Team were 6-0, and basically had never thought we'd make it this far. So, our team captain half-heartedly told us to go practice our parts for (the largely inconsequential) 4th round. After running through our parts for about 15 minutes, my attorney and I gave up and just looked at memes for the next 2 hours or so.The thrill of a practically assured bid to Nationals combined with the exhaustion just made the memes so funny. It was one of the hardest times I laughed in my life.
​
Where I am now: Finishing up my 2L year at Michigan Law (Double Wolverine!). I'll be working at the Environmental Law Institute this summer, and plan to go into environmental law post-grad.
