Jen Crutchfield
Student Coordinator,
Guardianship Clinic
James E. Rogers
College of Law
Jen Crutchfield is
in her third year of law school
at the U of A.
Jen is originally from Scottsdale,
Arizona, but she
considers herself to be a true
California girl at
heart. She graduated from
Loyola Marymount
University where she received
a bachelor’s
degree in Psychology with a double
minor in Political
Science and Women’s Studies.
Jen was active in
community service prior to law
school, and has continued this tradition through
her work with the VLP and
the
law school’s Community Service Board. She is
currently an Ares Fellow
(a mentor to underclassmen selected by the professors)
and a member of the
Law Women’s Association and Phi Alpha Delta. Jen
is a high energy kind of
gal. In her free time, she enjoys rock climbing, eating,
and traveling as often
as possible. Her only preference in her travels is that
she must go somewhere
that “isn’t in Arizona.” And in those rare moments when Jen
just wants to sit
back and relax, she finds herself watching
The West Wing,
Law & Order, The
Office and South Park.
