2024 Summer Intern Highlight!

This summer CLF is working with two student interns who have helped tremendously with the firm’s mission of providing top quality defense services across the Delta.

Brady Keeton, a native of Cleveland and a graduate of Cleveland Central High School, is going into his 3rd year of law school at the University of Mississippi School of Law. Finishing his second summer working at CLF, Brady is interning through the Mississippi Bar’s Access to Justice Committee’s Rural Clerkship Program, which provides a stipend to law students who choose to work in rural areas throughout Mississippi.

Kezwick “Kez” Akon II, also a native of Cleveland and a graduate of Cleveland Central High School, is going into his senior year at Aurora University in Illinois where he majors in Political Science and public policy. A Captain on the Aurora University football team and president of the Black Student Union, Kez is looking to study law post graduation and possibly (hopefully) come back to the Delta to practice.

Brady and Kez have spent the summer assisting the lawyers at CLF in preparing motions, reviewing discovery, preparing jury instructions, going to jails, attending hearings and observing jury trials in Bolivar, Tunica, Coahoma, Tunica, Yalobusha, Leflore, Holmes, Quitman, and Washington Counties
