Elaine Barr, our incoming fellow, was profiled this weekend in the Jackson newspaper.
While Barr never became a musician like her father, she did find her niche: law. According to Barr’s grandmother, Edna Barr of Blackman Township, Elaine “knew she wanted to be an attorney since she was 10 years old.”
Barr, now 22, earned her bachelor’s and law degree in five year’s time. After earning her bachelor’s from the University of Michigan, Barr went on to MSU law school, graduating this spring. According to the MSU registrar’s office, the feat usually takes between six and seven years, and it is uncommon to complete it in less.
