For our final Summer Associate Spotlight, Bailey Glasser has the pleasure of welcoming back Noah Wilbur who began his legal journey at BG as a paralegal in our Washington, D.C. office before embarking into law school. Noah is a rising 3L at Duquesne University Kline School of Law and is working as a summer associate in our Pittsburgh office.
We hope you enjoy this Q&A with Noah:
Q: What’s your favorite quote that inspires you?
A: I have two favorite quotes. The first comes from the iconic Muhammad Ali, who said “Often it isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out, it’s the little pebble in your shoe.” The second quote comes from Theodore Roosevelt: “Comparison is the thief of joy.”
Q: If stranded on a desert island, what would you bring with you for entertainment?
A: If I was stranded on a desert island, I’d bring “Demon Copperhead,” by Barbara Kingsolver to read, “Audioslave” the self-titled debut album by Audioslave to listen to, and I’d bring the epic “The Dark Knight” movie to watch.
Q: What is something that you’ve learned while you’ve been at BG this summer?
A: In all honesty, I could likely write a short novel on the numerous insights that I’ve gained during my time as a summer associate at Bailey Glasser. However, for the sake of brevity, the main takeaway from my summer associate experience is the crucial role that effective workplace communication and collaborative synergy play in enhancing the quality of our work product and driving overall efficiency within the firm. Additionally, I also had the opportunity to greatly expand my knowledge and understanding of the many intricacies involved in toxic tort and environmental litigation.
Q: Last but not least, what kind of law are you most drawn to practicing at this time in your legal studies?
A: The areas I am drawn to include environmental litigation; mass torts; product liability; and toxic torts (with a specific focus on asbestos exposure).
Thank you for joining our community this summer and contributing to our work, Noah!
