Story
Your gift to the Legal Opportunity Scholarship Fund (LOSF) helps racial and ethnic minority law students focus on their studies and achieve their Juris Doctor, many as the first in their community. The LOSF is a scholarship of access; the applicants stories are as important as their academic success. These Scholars reflect the diversity of our country and the clients we serve making justice accessible to all.
I have great news to share! This summer was awesome, and my firm Squire Patton Boggs made me an offer to join the firm after I graduate. I also received and accepted an offer to clerk for the Honorable Alvin W. Thompson, District/Federal Court Judge for the District of Connecticut for September 2020 after I graduate law school. This semester, I am externing with the US Attorney's Office, in the Criminal Division. Thank you to the ABA Legal Opportunity Scholarship Fund for investing in me. Please expect great things!
