Busy lunch hour learning about fitness law and history of Supreme Court and African Americans

It’s always wonderful seeing successful alums returning to UC Davis School of Law. This week, Drew Amoroso ‘10 came back to talk as part of the Entertainment and Sports Law Society’s annual “culture” week. Drew, who started off at an international law firm and now has his own business. He disscussed his career trajectory for the students.

Drew started a “fitness law” practice at the firm and started building a client base in the fitness world. He then decided to go out on his own and created Move Legal for serving the fitness industry.

Drew later moved on to starting a legal tech business training lawyers. His new business focuses on the basics of practicing law and he is developing an app to help lawyers.

Drew now teaches a Practice Ready Lawyer class at UC Davis Law, USF, and Golden Gate. He offered advice to the students about being intentional in developing their careers.

In addition to Drew’s talk, I stopped by to see the end of Visiting Professor William Wiecek’s presentation on the U.S Supreme Court & African Americans, 1800-2000. It was part of the Aoki Center’s Seminar Series.  Professor Wiecek, a legal historian, offered a close look at the Court’s treatment of slavery, freedom, race, and discrimination.  He had a full house in the Moot Court Room.

There always is a great deal of intellectual sustenance during the lunch hour at UC Davis School of Law.
