In 2014 I began my legal education at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law.  Throughout law school I worked for a well-established personal injury and worker’s compensation firm and I conducted legal research for Cleveland-Marshall’s Environmental Law professor.  My research focused on shale development and Ohio’s rapidly developing oil and gas jurisprudence, particularly Ohio’s statutory mandatory pooling/unitization schemes and the conflict between Ohio’s oil and gas statute and its constitutional home rule provision.  I graduated from Cleveland-Marshall, was admitted to the Ohio state bar, and founded Boothe Law LLC in 2016.
