Clark Jennings, a 2010 graduate of the UALR William H. Bowen School of Law, is busy this week as the director of operations for the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.

He assumed the position in March while serving as a law clerk to U.S. District Judge D. P. Marshall Jr. for the Eastern District of Arkansas. His clerk position came during a one-year leave from Quattlebaum, Grooms, Tull & Burrow PLLC, where he has served as a litigation attorney.

Jennings was the assistant managing editor of the UALR Law Review. He also competed as a member of the National Trial Competition Team and was a student member of the Henry Woods American Inn of Court.

His wife Mary also earned her law degree from the Bowen school and was working as an associate at Mitchell Williams Law in Little Rock before the couple left for North Carolina.
