Clementine Morisette

Intern

Boise, ID

Background

Clementine Rose Morisette is a Legal Intern with Gravis Law’s Boise office. Having grown up between Washington, D.C. and Colorado, Clementine brings a diverse perspective to her legal practice. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Arts from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, and her J.D. from the Alexander Blewett III School of Law at the University of Montana.

Clementine chose the legal profession because she wanted to utilize her analytical skills in a way that directly impacts the real world, rather than pursuing traditional academic language analysis. While she has gained valuable experience in criminal law and family law, her true passion lies in intellectual property law, particularly as it relates to art and the fashion industry. She loves the philosophical underpinnings of IP law and is working to transition her practice to focus primarily on this area.

One of Clementine’s proudest accomplishments is winning the first jury trial she ever handled independently. She believes the key to success is determination—both to finish something and to finish it well. Beyond legal advocacy, she helps her clients by engaging with them as whole people, understanding that their case is likely the most stressful thing in their life at that moment.

What Clementine enjoys most about the law is the creative side that IP provides, where she can craft innovative arguments while using that creativity to protect others who are passionate about their own creations.

Outside of her legal practice, Clementine enjoys sewing, caring for houseplants, and engaging with the vintage fashion community. She is also involved in community service, including food bank volunteering and elementary tutoring.
