Chelsea Contrada
Law Clerk
Profile
I have been a Law Clerk with our office since the spring of 2022. I am a 4L night student at the Western New England University School of Law and plan to graduate in 2023. I currently serve as Publishing and Sourcing Editor for the WNEU Law Review. As a law clerk, I assist the attorneys in our office with reviewing discovery, researching legal questions, and providing other support as needed. I have a Bachelor's Degree in English from Keene State College and a Master's in Library and Information Science from Simmons College. Before working for the Law Offices of Joseph D. Bernard, I was a librarian and adjunct faculty member at Springfield Technical Community College. When I am not working, I love to cook and bake, spend time with family and friends, and travel when I can.
