After several years of practicing law for the Department of Defense, Trevor Orsinger was ready for a change.
"I grew up in Wheaton and, as a little kid, I remember going to Fermilab," Orsinger said. "I know Fermilab is a revered and great institution with a noble mission. I wanted to be part of that."
When a position in the Fermilab Legal Office opened, Orsinger seized the opportunity to return to DuPage county and switch his law career from defense to science. Now he is the senior staff attorney and will be working with Gary Leonard, Fermilab General Counsel, to provide legal services to the laboratory and FRA.
"I hired Trevor because he had the right experience," Leonard said. "Working at a government agency requires more than a law degree. It is a technical job, and Trevor had the most experience working with federal facilities."
Orsinger has always had an interest in philosophy and law. He is excited that this position at Fermilab will allow him to practice law in an intellectual environment.
"Both my parents and my wife are teachers, so I wanted to work in a place with an academic, university feel," Orsinger said.
