Jesse Sommer received his law and business degrees from the American University in Washington, DC. There, he served on the Administrative Law Review—America’s most widely circulated student-run law journal—and was involved in complex foreclosure litigation through the law school’s Community & Economic Development Law Clinic. Jesse competed in moot court and mock trial tournaments throughout his law school career, and was recognized by the school’s Legal Rhetoric Department and Pro Bono Program for outstanding performance. He clerked for the Supreme Court of the Navajo Nation, and served as a law clerk for both the Office of Colorado Senator Michael Bennet and the Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program Office. Jesse was also recently accepted into the United States Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps; his deployment will begin in 2013.
