About Shanda L
Shanda L Adams earned her J.D. from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 2011. She completed coursework and clinic work while at law school, and left with practical exposure to litigation and client service. Those years established the legal foundation she would build on in private practice.
While still in law school, Adams participated in the International Human Rights Clinic at the University of Oklahoma in 2010. The clinic placed her in settings that paired classroom study with real-world problems. That experience gave her a window into cross-border legal issues and the practical demands of representing clients in sensitive matters.
After graduating in 2011, Adams joined Rick Dane Moore & Associates Law Office, PLLC. She began as a legal clerk and moved into an associate role that same year. Her time at the firm was an early chapter of steady professional development. It exposed her to the rhythms of a law office and to the procedural work required in day-to-day case handling.
Adams’s background spans both clinical and private practice environments. The clinic work at the University of Oklahoma introduced her to collaborative legal work and to issues that often require careful fact-gathering and attention to ethical considerations. Her years at Rick Dane Moore & Associates Law Office, PLLC added the experience of office-based practice and teamwork in client representation.
Colleagues describe Adams as methodical in approach and steady under routine pressure. She is comfortable in settings that call for thorough preparation and patience. Those traits illuminated the kind of practice she pursued after law school: one grounded in the basics of legal work rather than headline-grabbing matters.
Her professional path has remained rooted in Oklahoma, where she is licensed to practice. She has continued to work within the state’s legal community since completing her formal education. Her public record shows a mix of clinic involvement during law school and immediate employment in private practice upon graduation.
Adams maintains a practice in Oklahoma, where she continues to serve clients and engage in the work of the day-to-day delivery of legal services.
