Christine V. Clarke started as an associate with Kline & Specter in 2012, but her experience with the firm - including work on a high-profile trial -- goes much farther back.Clarke was a top student and orator at the Temple University's Beasley School of Law, where she graduated cum laude and was a Beasley Scholar, editor of the Temple International & Comparative Law Journal and won three awards for Outstanding Oral Advocacy.
