Third-year law student Alec Peden, ’23, is a member of the Accelerated Honors Program at McGeorge School of Law. The program allows students to complete their JD degree on an accelerated 2.5-year track, instead of the traditional 3-year path.

His passion for the law came to him once he stepped foot into a mock trial class in high school and from there, he couldn’t stay away. Peden shared that after graduation, he plans to take the bar exam and explore how his future in the law field will unfold.
