THE LEGAL BRIEF
VOLUME 40, ISSUE 3
Young Lawyer Spotlight By Devin Kohr, Young Lawyer Section Chair
Erin Kuns
I grew up in … Redding, California
Before law school I … Was a branch manager for a community bank, then paralegal for 4.5 years before completing my Rule 6 Law Clerkship under the supervision of Jerry M. Gray at Connolly Tacon & Meserve. What I find challenging about being a new/young lawyer is … I ’ m not your average “ live to litigate ” attorney, so a big challenge for me is lacking confidence in and/or constantly second - guessing your advice/strategy.
Some helpful advice received from a more experienced lawyer … Amat Victoria Curam – “ victory loves preparation ”.
If I wasn ’ t an attorney I ’ d be … working on my PhD in History/Political Science and teaching in post - secondary education.
The most memorable trip I ever took was … A Baltic cruise in 2018. Despite the current political climate, spending time in Russia was a significant highlight! It was such a surreal experience to tread the same cobblestones as Peter the Great, the Romanovs, Lenin, etc. and walk the corridors of Peterhof and the Winter Palace. The history, the sights, the food … everything! Also, the Russian people were incredibly gracious, and their hospitality lacked nothing.
