We are proud to recognize another one of our outstanding summer law clerks, Aryz Terlaje.
Aryz is a student at Quinnipiac Law School who grew up in Portland, Maine. Before law school, he attended Ripon College in Wisconsin, where he played football and competed in javelin, discus, shot put, hammer and weight throw.
His reason for pursuing law is much more personal. Growing up, Aryz saw situations where having someone with legal knowledge in his family's corner could have made a difference. That experience inspired him to pursue a career where he could be that person for others and help people who may not be able to help themselves.
He's also spent time as a high school varsity defensive coordinator and, outside of law, enjoys gardening, playing guitar, exercising, and a good horror or thriller movie.
Aryz has been dependable, hardworking, and a valuable part of Polito & Harrington this summer. We appreciate everything he's done for the firm and wish him nothing but success as he continues his journey toward becoming an attorney.
Thank you, Aryz!
