National Jurist - March 2009 - (Page 17) Wesley “Bo” Luckey fingerprinted students in preparation for the bar exam. Luckey said that taking some time to be in the “real world” before law school, especially as a police officer, has been a great asset during his first year of law school. “What’s helped me more than anything is knowing that there’s more out there than what the law school shows you, as far as the actual application of the law goes,” he said. “They teach you all these hypotheticals, but it’s good to have that practical sense of how it happens in the real world.” While his post-graduation plans are still up in the air, Luckey said that his past experiences have given him some insight into what he might want to do after law school. “I’ve looked into a couple things, like working as an attorney on staff for a sheriff ’s department, since they handle most of the contracts and lawsuits against the deputies,” he said. “I also would like to get back into working for the DEA in some capacity, but I’m always open to personal injury or wrongful death because of my accident reconstruction background.” One thing is for sure about Luckey’s future — it’s definitely going to be changing. He and his wife are expecting their first child, a girl, in June. LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO SCHOOL OF LAW Change is inevitable, growth is intentional.
