The faculty are very good at helping you see what living proof of being an attorney is, and they can also help you with references of looking for things that you're interested in your legal career and pointing you in the direction to people to help you connect and gain networking experience to that.
Law school is very challenging. It is not easy. It's a tough, tough road three years. And one of the things that we really care about at this law school is the students the care for the whole person, “cura personalis,” and so that to the extent that there's something that's going on with the student, we care about that student, we try to accommodate the needs that that student may face.
I encourage students to come see me in my office, and in fact, for my first year students, I require them to come see me near the start of the semester, so I can begin the process as quickly as possible getting to know who they are and what their ambitions are, what they are hoping to get out of law school. I'm always happy to set up connections between our students and practicing lawyers who might in the future be colleagues or employers. And it's the most gratifying thing for me when I find that a former student of mine is working for another former student of mine, who I had many years earlier, and is doing well. I always love to hear about how our students are succeeding in practice after law school.
