Student Spotlight
Christopher Barnes
Christopher Barnes is one of the 131 new J.D. candidates the University of Arkansas
School of Law welcomed this August. He is excited to return to Arkansas after an extended
stay in Tennessee and has settled into the demanding coursework of his 1L year with
enthusiasm. He is quickly becoming an important member of the law school community.
Although still in his first semester of law school, Barnes has a clear and long-held desire to become a corporate lawyer.
“I am interested in becoming a corporate attorney because I have always wanted to know the behind-the-scenes part of corporations and I am interested in being the ‘guy in the middle,’ Barnes said. “I like serving people and helping them in the best way I can. Seeing people and companies get taken advantage of inspired me to attend law school so I can be a voice for them.”
