Mr. Kurt J. Miller,
People's Law Firm,
111 Saint Francis Way,
Milwaukee, WI 53202.
Dear Mr. Miller,
Professor David Lord at the Pennsylvania college of Law suggested that I contact you to ask for advice for taking the correct career decision. I have a liking for public interest law as I am very interested in social work and making the general public aware of their rights.
Since you have been in this field all your life, I would like to know more details of the job and the kind of cases you come across on a regular basis. Last summer I worked as a clerk for a private firm owing to the fact that public interest law is practiced by very few people. Although I loved the challenges and the responsibilities, I would like to seriously take up public interest law.
Your suggestion in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I would be in Wisconsin in the month of July between 10 and 15, 2005. I would call you then to schedule an appointment with you for a suitable time to meet. If you have any queries or anything to share with me in the meanwhile, please feel free to call me on the above telephone number.
I look forward to meet you and appreciate your time.
Sincerely,
Timothy M. Milburn,
Senior Student, Law,
ISL, Pennsylvania.
