Student Profile - Jethro Gordon

Getting to Know Jethro Gordon

Why did you choose Baylor Law?

I chose Baylor Law School because of its focus on litigation and how much emphasis the leaders put on becoming good, effective attorneys. I knew that if I went to Baylor Law, I would gain the skills necessary to become a completive attorney that does well for my clients.

What is your favorite thing about Baylor Law?

Because I have a wife and kids, my favorite thing about Baylor Law is the amount of family friendly events that the school hosts. It makes it easier to make family time during the busy law school season. Going to the events with my family has been a great way to include my family in the law school process.

What do you plan to do after graduation?

I plan to work in Fort Worth for a civil litigation firm.

What do you do to relax/for fun and/or what all are you involved with at Baylor Law?

I like to bake desserts and smoke meat to relax and have fun. I am the president of The J. Reuben Clark Law Society (religious freedom society) and have really enjoyed researching religious freedom issues that are currently in the court system. I am also involved with the Federalist Society and the Christian Legal Society. There are so many student organizations that give you opportunities to get involved with issues that you care about.
