Following graduation, Britt attended Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, Alabama where she was named to the Dean’s List five out of the six semesters in which she was enrolled.  During her tenure at Cumberland, Britt clerked for Circuit Court Judge Elisabeth French and Federal Chief Judge Karon O. Bowdre for the Northern District of Alabama.  Both clerkships allowed her the opportunity to gain valuable insight from behind the bench, aid in the delivery of complex judicial opinions, and become entrenched in issues of Social Security Disability appeals.. In addition to the curricular activities Britt enjoyed during law school, she also had the good fortune to meet her now husband and law partner, Wren M.
