Alum Jaime McClintock graduated from LVC in 1999 with a major in English Literature and a minor in American Studies. McClintock attributes her success in the field of law to the experiences and unique education in humanities she received at LVC.

With studying English at LVC, McClintock remarks that she was able to receive a wide-spread education. She explains how she took business and political science classes along with her English studies that helped expand her knowledge, which benefited her in law school.

Along with the variety of education, McClintock appreciated the small class sizes and the focus on academic success that LVC offers.

“My LVC professors challenged me and encouraged me to succeed and to build confidence in myself by speaking more in class,” McClintock said. “Taking my writing to a new, higher level, and ‘thinking outside the box.’”

After graduating from LVC, McClintock attended Widener University School of Law in 2002. She was then admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in 2002. McClintock has been working as a government attorney and is currently an attorney at the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) since 2003.

McClintock has represented the PUC Commonwealth in court and has worked for one of the PUC Commissioners appointed by the governor. She has worked on topics related to natural gas, pipeline, electric, water and transportation companies. Some of these cases included pipeline topics and PUC’s regulation with Uber and Lyft. Overall, McClintock said she enjoys working on cases that provide justice for customers.

“I also really enjoy cases in which I feel there is an opportunity to help customers with utility billing or service problems to ensure their service is safe and reliable and their rates are reasonable,” McClintock said.

In the future, McClintock states that she hopes to work as a supervisor or bureau director.

She also says that she would recommend receiving a liberal arts education, specifically at LVC especially for anyone looking to pursue law.

“The well-rounded Liberal Arts education at LVC would be beneficial,” said McClintock. “Writing skills, speaking skills, creativity and confidence are important to the legal research, writing and litigation aspects of law.”
