10 Things You Don’t Know About Hillary Peak
1.
I grew up in a tiny town in New
Mexico. When I went to college and I
told people our mascot was the Cavemen, it was the first time I realized we got
our name from the famous national park!
2.
I started writing for my high
school newspaper. I’m still not really
certain why I didn’t go into journalism.
3.
I was valedictorian of my high
school class.
4.
I love college football, but I
don’t particularly enjoy professional sports.
5.
My favorite classes in college
were history courses. I loved writing
essays on historical topics.
6.
Once I became a lawyer, my
writing style changed but improved. One
of the main reasons is that I spent two years as a law clerk in the US Court of
Federal Claims.
7.
My favorite thing to do as an
attorney is draft legal briefs. I enjoy
the research. I’ve even taught courses
on legal writing to law students.
8.
If I could have one talent, I
would be able to paint. However, I
cannot even draw a straight line. The
only non-fiction books I read are on art forgery.
9.
I’ve published two legal
articles on education and the law. One of my favorite past times is going to cocktail making class.
