Julie has this to say about her practice at Kennedy & Graven:

Practicing public interest law at Kennedy & Graven is very rewarding. I have the opportunity to work with local governments to implement improvements and then see the results of that work in the communities around me. The people at Kennedy & Graven are committed to public sector work and it is a wonderful environment in which to work.
