My older son was in CBH while at Bama, and he did research for two professors. He spent three years working with one econ professor, and it definitely paid off when he got to UVA Law. Last spring, he went to see a tax law professor about an assistantship. The professor asked my son about his research experience, and my son detailed what he had done. Not only did he land a paying assistantship for the summer, but he continues to work with this professor.
