Future Plans

I would like to work for a public interest agency while studying for the bar, under the Public Interest Law Initiative program. After taking the bar, I will be starting work at the Chicago office of Kirkland and Ellis LLP as a litigation associate.

On the importance of the NDLS education:

“Especially today, there is a pressing need for lawyers to root their practice in truth and justice. By recognizing that noble goals are best served by striving for excellence in all aspects of legal life, starting from law school, NDLS properly prepares you to be the different kind of lawyer that this world needs. To me, that’s what’s most important about the education here.”

On Faculty:

“It is both humbling and inspiring to be taught by brilliant professors who are passionate about their fields and committed to their students. When I think of my professors, I think not only of the lively interactive lectures they conduct but also of their willingness to listen to your questions and discuss the topics with you, even when classes are over. They’re all very approachable. I think this is what makes the faculty here unique.”
