About Caroline
Caroline Ford earned her law degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Law, finishing in 2021 after three years of study. She completed her undergraduate degree at Miami University of Ohio in 2018, where she studied International and Global Studies alongside Journalism. The combination of international affairs and reporting informed the way she approaches fact gathering and written argument from an early stage.
Her first campus jobs reflected a practical interest in law and education. In 2015 she worked as an office aide at the Sue J. Henry Center for Pre-Law Education, assisting programs aimed at students considering legal careers. During her undergraduate years she spent a summer interning at Bailey Cavalieri LLC in 2017, gaining early exposure to firm operations and courtroom procedure.
While in law school she pursued work that bridged reporting and legal inquiry. In 2019 she served as a legal fellow at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, a role that involved researching complex international stories and supporting editorial projects. That experience sharpened her ability to parse documents and prepare clear, persuasive accounts of events. She also served as a law clerk at Minc Law in 2020, taking on research tasks and drafting memoranda for litigation files.
After graduating from Case Western Reserve in 2021, she continued at Minc Law as a lawyer. Her early years at the firm built on the clerkship work. She handled legal research, prepared pleadings, and assisted on hearings. Colleagues describe her work as detail-oriented and steady under the routine pressures of a law practice.
Ford’s background in journalism shows through in her written work. She tends to approach legal problems by assembling a record and testing assumptions against primary sources. That method informs how she prepares clients and organizes case materials. Her time at the Pulitzer Center also gave her a practical sense of cross-border issues and the challenges of reporting on crises—skills that can be useful when cases involve complex facts or multiple jurisdictions.
She remains at Minc Law. There she performs the range of duties associated with an attorney at a litigation-focused firm, from client counseling to drafting court documents and supporting trial preparation. She currently practices at Minc Law, handling client matters and providing litigation support.
