K Barrister of the Month: Kimberly A. Norvell imberly Norvell originally hails from the great state of Texas. She was born and raised in the Dallas area but spent summers visiting her father in California. After briefly contemplating a move to the West Coast for her undergraduate education, Kim instead made the shorter trip down to Austin where she attended the University of Texas. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and continued her study of vocal performance. In addition to individual study and recitals, Kim performed with the university's elite ensemble, the Chamber Singers, as well as singing with the Madrigal Choir during the holiday season. In the fall of 2002, Kim finally decided the time was right for a move to California and came to Sacramento to attend the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law as an Anthony M. Kennedy Fellow. In her first year, she and the other Kennedy Fellows traveled to Washington D.C. to observe oral arguments at the Supreme Court, followed by a “behind the scenes” look at the court from Justice Anthony Kennedy. The following summer, Kim studied Fundamental Rights in Europe and the U.S. with Justice Kennedy through McGeorge's summer program in Salzburg, Austria. This trip stands out as one of the highlights of her education as it afforded her the opportunity not only to study with one of the world's foremost experts on Constitutional Law, but it also provided the chance for her to make an extensive trip throughout Europe, traveling from Paris to Prague and to many points in between. It was also at McGeorge that Kim also began her affiliation with the Barristers' Club. As the President of the Junior Barristers' Club in her third year, Kim attended board meetings and events hosted by the Barristers' Club, making it a natural transition for her to join the Board after graduating from law school. Kim joined the Board of the Barristers' Club in May of 2006 and was also chosen to serve as the Media Chair for the organization.

Section & Affiliate Reports After graduating from McGeorge with distinction in 2005, Ms. Norvell joined the law offices of Downey Brand LLP where she had worked as a summer associate during 2004. She is a member of the firm's Corporate, Securities, and Tax group where she focuses on corporate and financial institution law, assisting companies in formation, dissolution, mergers and acquisitions, contract, real estate, regulatory compliance and general corporate governance matters. In her free time, Kim loves to travel and visits her family and friends back in Texas at every opportunity. Along with her father and step-mother, she has one sister as well as a step-brother and step-sister all living in Northern California, and can often be found with her family boating on the San Joaquin River Delta. Kim continues to enjoy singing, although these days it is more likely to be karaoke than a cantata!
