Law school lays the academic groundwork, but it’s experience in the legal community that shapes the attorney you can become. One of the best ways to get experience is by working as a law clerk. Clerking allows the opportunity to apply what has been learned in the classroom to real cases, real clients, and real legal work. It develops practical skills, professional confidence, and the kind of connections that can open doors throughout a legal career. At DiPasquale Moore, we know firsthand how impactful a strong clerkship can be—and we’re proud to offer law students that kind of experience.
DM Injury Law’s Law Clerk Program is designed for driven and ambitious law students who will have an exceptional opportunity to gain real-world experience, work alongside some of the best personal injury attorneys in the area, and prepare students for a rewarding career in the legal profession.
Whether looking to sharpen your litigation skills, build lasting professional connections, or simply discover a unique path within the field of law, our Law Clerk Program is tailored to meet your needs.

Meet The Mentor
Michelle Dunn, J.D.
At the age of 15, Michelle Dunn was injured as a passenger in a car accident. Frustrated with the lack of attention her case received, Michelle found a new attorney on her own—someone who would become a lifelong mentor and ultimately inspire her to pursue a legal career. She clerked for him throughout law school and later practiced alongside him as an attorney.
A Kansas City native, Michelle earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Missouri and returned home to attend law school at the University of Missouri- Kansas City. During her legal studies, she served as both a teaching and research assistant and was active in student leadership roles.
