Scheef & Stone, LLP is pleased to welcome four law clerks to the firm this summer: Gillian West and Madison Barnes in the firm’s Dallas office, and Lindie Harper and Ashley Souza in the Frisco office.
All four clerks are second-year law students at SMU Dedman School of Law, one of the nation’s leading legal institutions and a longstanding part of the Dallas legal community. As SMU Dedman Law celebrates its 100th anniversary, the school continues its legacy of preparing future legal leaders through academic excellence, practical experience, and public service.
The incoming clerks each bring strong academic credentials and diverse professional experience to the firm.
Gillian West currently serves as Secretary of the Student Bar Association at SMU Dedman Law and previously worked as a summer associate in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Prior to law school, she spent nearly three years working in a law firm environment as an administrative assistant.
Madison Barnes recently completed internships with both Parkland Health and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. She graduated magna cum laude from Texas Christian University with a degree in political science and a minor in criminal justice.
Lindie Harper graduated magna cum laude from Rhodes College, where she served as a research fellow and editor of the Rhodes Historical Review. Her background also includes appellate-focused internship experience with the Dallas County Public Defender’s Office.
Ashley Souza brings prior legal and administrative experience from both private industry and higher education, including work with Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and Tabani Group, Inc.
Scheef & Stone looks forward to supporting these talented students as they continue developing their legal skills and gaining hands-on experience within the firm.
Please join us in welcoming Gillian, Madison, Lindie, and Ashley to Scheef & Stone.
