Shannon Sinclair, the University of Richmond's first general counsel, said what she enjoyed most about working in her area of law was the variety of tasks she could do. "You get to be exposed to so many different areas of law and you get to be helpful to people who are trying to do things the right way," Sinclair said. As the general counsel, or in-house lawyer, Sinclair will act as a legal adviser to the university, she explained.
