"When I got to Miami, I was anything but the high-school-science-guy; much more realistically, I was a high school jock!

Charlie LaPlante

I graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law in May 2008, where I was a member of the editorial board Virginia Law Review. I am an associate in the Minneapolis office of Dorsey & Whitney LLP, a national law firm. As a member of the firm's Trial group, I work on all types of litigation. In my spare time, I enjoy reading good science fiction and watching terrible movies.

"Although I chose not to pursue a career in physics, I can definitely say that the rigorous, analytical way of thinking I learned in Miami's Physics Department has proven invaluable to me in law school, and I'm sure it will prove equally invaluable in my future life as a lawyer." - Charlie LaPlante, BS Physics 2005
