Juggling School And Work
“I attended Cleveland-Marshall full time but worked part time my second and third years in the General Counsel’s office at Cleveland State University. Cleveland-Marshall certainly prepared me in many ways – teaching me to think like a lawyer, honing my writing skills, developing my analytical skills and instilling a sense of confidence. I also taught street law while in law school. Teaching law requires one to develop a comprehensive understanding of various subjects in order to teach them.”

On Law School Success
“Keep an open mind about what you want to do with law – there are so many ways you can use your legal background. Experience as much as you can: moot court, law review, internships, and clerkships when you graduate.”
