“Muhlenberg’s a pretty intense school. The workload and expectations were really high, and when I eventually did get to law school, I realized I was much more prepared than a lot of the other students.”
Smillie, who has been with the firm for 30 years, says the overall rigor of a Muhlenberg education prepared him for his studies at the Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law.
“Muhlenberg’s a pretty intense school,” says Smillie, who studied political science at Muhlenberg. “The workload and expectations were really high, and when I eventually did get to law school, I realized I was much more prepared than a lot of the other students because I had a very rigorous undergraduate experience that really paid off. I was mentally in shape for the amount of work they were going to throw at me in law school.”
