After completion of his undergraduate degree Joseph taught Math at an alternative high school and prepared for the LSAT. A second-year law student, he is interning at the Utah County Attorney’s office, criminal division.  Joseph was sent by the ICLRS to Lima, Peru during the summer of 2009 to work for the Area Legal Counsel of the LDS Church. It was an extraordinary experience and he learned a lot, both about how the Church functions, legally, and about the reality of practicing law in a civil law country.

He is pleased to serve as Co-Chair for Recruitment for the 2010 Symposium.
