Attorney Rigdon began her secondary education at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, Connecticut. In 2002 she received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the university with a concentration in graphic design. In August 2002, Attorney Rigdon relocated to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to pursue a Juris Doctorate degree from Oklahoma City University School of Law. That fall she was named to the faculty honor roll and awarded a CALI award in Legal Research and Writing I for achieving the highest class average. In the fall semester of 2003, Attorney Rigdon was initiated to the Hand Inn of the international legal fraternity of Phi Delta Phi and to Merit Scholars, an honorary and service organization whose primary purpose is to promote academic outreach and recognize scholarly achievement by the faculty. In the spring semester of 2004, Attorney Rigdon became a member of the Robert J. Turner American Inn of Court. She also sat for the Oklahoma Licensed Legal Intern examination and was later sworn in by the Oklahoma Supreme Court which granted her a limited license to practice law under a supervising attorney. That semester she was awarded a second CALI award in National Security Law and was also named to the Dean’s list.
Upon securing her intern’s license, Attorney Rigdon became a licensed legal intern and legal research assistant for a small criminal defense practice located in Oklahoma City where she appeared for counsel in both county and city courthouses, researched and analyzed legal issues providing recommendations for further action, conducted research and drafted legal pleadings, motions, trial briefs, and other legal memoranda and was also commended by the partners for her superior writing and researching skills. While working at the firm, Attorney Rigdon also served as a legal researcher for the American Bar Association Criminal Justice Section to determine any necessary changes to the “Guidelines for Fair Treatment of Crime Victims and Witnesses.”
Attorney Rigdon received her Juris Doctorate degree from Oklahoma City University School of Law in May 2005. She successfully sat for both the New York and Connecticut Bar Exams in July of 2005. Although she is still awaiting admission to the New York Bar, Attorney Rigdon was sworn in to the Connecticut State Bar in October 2005.
