During her fellowship, Brittany represented governmental clients on diverse issues of state and federal law. In addition to assisting her colleagues on several appeals, Brittany served as lead counsel in two cases before the Third Court of Appeals and the Eighth Court of Appeals, and presented oral argument at the Eighth Court of Appeals. Brittany also served as the Office of the Solicitor General’s legislative liaison for the Texas Legislature’s 85th regular legislative session.
