William Bowman first considered a career in law after graduating high school.
“As soon as the thought crossed my mind, it was like an ah-ha moment. I thought to myself, ‘I could do that,’” he said.
Definitely a good choice.
A recent graduate from Cooley Law School, Bowman — the first in his family to enter the law — will launch his career in August with the civil litigation team at Smith Haughey Rice & Roegge in Grand Rapids.
Bowman got a taste of the law at Grand Valley State University, earning his degree in legal studies, an ABA-approved paralegal program.
“The draw came from peers who had already advanced somewhat in the program and explained their courses followed the Socratic method and were more akin to law school coursework than to traditional undergrad lectures. They knew how to write memos and research the law,” he said. “I knew I’d be a fool to pass up such a program not found at most universities.”
