Patrick Mullinger decided to focus mostly on small issues in Civil Procedure, which caused vigorous discussions at his firm Porter Rennie Woodard and Kendall, LLP. Patrick finds these issues practical to discuss as the writing on these issues is sparse. Writing on these issues allowed him to expand his opinions on how the rules should and could operate. Writing for the UC Law Review gave Patrick an avenue to deepen his thinking of niche issues in the Federal Civil Rules of Procedure, and he found himself enjoying the deep legal research necessary to put forth the best drafts. Patrick hopes to continue learning more about Civil Procedure in his legal career as a civil litigation attorney after graduation.
