why use the career center
[https://mcusercontent.com/1a6fdf2eea5cf9d8502036371/images/9b6d8031-68eb-9263-6227-c132e6bfc927.png]

This week, we highlight Sofia Baneth, who has chosen to begin her practice as an Honors Attorney with the US Department of Transportation in Washington DC. We are delighted that the Career Center played a meaningful role in supporting Sophia during her time at Campbell, and encourage you to reach out to us in your career and professional development journey as well. We are here to help!

For 2023 Campbell Law graduate Sofia Baneth (23), it has always been important to do work she can stand by and that she feels is making a difference in the world. Her professional experiences and time at Campbell Law have given her the “access to all the tools necessary to do work [she] believe[s] in and to use those tools in a way that positively impacts the world.”

Baneth, a North Carolina native, attended undergraduate at American University where she received a B.A. in Communications, Legal Institutions, Economics, and Government. Upon graduation, she was unsure of her path but had always been drawn to policy work. She began working at DC Volunteer Lawyers Project, a legal non-profit that represents domestic violence survivors, child custody, and Guardian Ad Litem cases. It was here that Sofia set her mind on law school. While working at the DC Volunteer Lawyers Project, Sofia spent a lot of time in DC Superior Court doing meaningful and incredible work which influenced her decision to attend law school. Sofia then began working at Van Ness Feldman on environmental policy work in Washington, DC. This solidified her decision to attend law school and after receiving her acceptance, Sofia returned to her home state to begin her 1L year at Campbell Law in fall 2020.

As a student at Campbell Law, Baneth immersed herself in the school community. She was a Staff Member and Publication Editor of the Campbell Law Review. She competed with the Old Kivett Advocacy Council and worked on the Community Law Clinic. Further, Sofia served as a Teaching Scholar for Professor Wallace’s Constitutional Law class. She was also the Lead Article Editor for the Antitrust Law Journal.

Baneth also accumulated a wide array of professional experience while attending Campbell Law, including: working for the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of the Solicitor doing employment litigation for the employee-side; the N.C. Department of Justice, Office of the Solicitor General doing state and U.S. constitutional and appellate litigation; and the Law Offices of F. Bryan Brice doing public interest environmental litigation.

Sofia is passionate about constitutional law and knew from her first day of law school she wanted to work for the federal government. Having a federal government internship with the U.S. Department of Labor was the first step toward her goal. However, each of her experiences shaped her professional journey and played a role in getting her where she is today. Her advice to students is to “try all experiences that fit your interests. One of the incredible things about this degree and profession is the versatility. Throughout my professional experiences during law school, I worked on cases involving employment law, constitutional law, and regulatory law. All are relevant in my current role. Be open to all of the opportunities that become available to you.”

In her search for externships, internships, and post-graduate positions, Baneth utilized the various resources available at the Campbell Law Career Center. “Campbell's Career Center is top-notch. To give one example, when I got a first-round interview with USDOT, I reached out to April Giancola who immediately connected me with a current USDOT attorney. That attorney explained what it means to serve as a federal government attorney, which helped me immensely in my subsequent interviews. The individuals in the Career Center are highly talented and strong professional advocates. Utilize all of the Career Center resources.” Baneth encourages other students to use these resources, as it was vital in her professional journey.

Baneth began her post-graduate job as an Honors Attorney for the U.S. Department of Transportation in Washington, DC on August 14, 2023.  The Honors Attorney program is a two-year program that allows new attorneys to begin working for the federal government. The program is unique in that Honors Attorneys complete one rotation in the US DOT's Office of the General Counsel and five rotations in different USDOT sub-agencies in their respective Offices of the Chief Counsel. It is a prestigious position and only five Honors Attorneys, either graduating students or students completing clerkships, were hired. Sofia explains that all of the Honors Attorneys are from different law schools and different parts of the country. “It is a very powerful thing that the Honors Attorneys are such a diverse group because it is important we represent the diversity of the country.” In each of these professional experiences, Baneth worked on substantively relevant work to what she is doing in her post-graduate role. Baneth’s most memorable experience was working on a prominent Supreme Court affirmative action case while at the N.C. Department of Justice.

Baneth just began her first rotation with the Maritime Administration where she will be having a strong focus on constitutional law. She is “grateful to have the opportunity to gain experience in various practice areas, particularly administrative, environmental, and constitutional law, as well as engage in litigation, transactional work, and regulatory enforcement and rulemaking. [She] look[s] forward to participating in a well-rounded program and serving as a federal government attorney.
