Clayton T. Merschbrock
About Clayton: I’m from Charlestown, Indiana. I completed my undergraduate degree at Franklin College in May 2012. When I was in 4th grade, my basketball coach told me I would be a great lawyer, so I took his advice and became very interested in anything involving the law. I’m a very active person and love all sports. When I’m not studying the law, you can find me on a basketball court or pumping some iron.
Previous Legal and/or Professional Experience: While in college, I had two internships working with criminal defense attorneys who worked in the Indianapolis metropolitan area. These attorneys helped show me what a career involving criminal law would be like and gave me valuable pre-law experience.
What activities are you involved in? I was very involved within the campus community of my undergraduate institution, both academically and socially. I have the intention of being part of several organizations. My fellow students have made it very easy for me to become involved within the NIU Law community.
