Judge, Distinguished Paralegals

For the past 22 years, Gretchen Veihl has been the Assistant Director for the Paralegal Program at the University of San Diego. Working with potential students, current students and alumni she is energized by observing paralegals and their significant contributions to casework and the community.

In addition to the Paralegal Program, Gretchen coordinates Test Preparation Courses at USD. Since a number of paralegals go on to law school, she had had the opportunity to help paralegals further their education.
