Introducing Shawn Beckett
Name: Shawn Beckett
Juris doctor, Beasley School of Law
Age: 32.
Hometown: Harlem, N.Y.
Occupation: Full-time history teacher at Imhotep Charter High School.
Best experience at Temple: “I’ve met a lot of wonderful people and developed lifelong friendships with future professional partners. I also had the opportunity to coach the mock trial team at Abraham Lincoln High School for three of the years while attending law school.”
Post-graduation plans: “I plan to teach for another year because I want to be around when my current class graduates. After that I’ll probably work for a small firm before I venture out and start my own practice with a few colleagues I’ve met at Temple. Eventually, I’d like to become a judge.”
