Todd C. Jacobs '89
Chicago
"Many cases we handle do not have straightforward answers, and new subject matters arise daily. It’s within these gray areas that I appreciate how UVA Law teaches students to think through complex questions."
Roscoe Jones '03
Washington, D.C.
"Washington is a town built on relationships. So keep in touch with the contacts you make there and find a mentor in the city- you never know when that one contact will open up a door for you to walk through."
Ruthie Ma Swilling '03
Boston
"It was during my 4th year working for a Big Law firm in Boston that I decided to assess ‘Where is this ladder heading?’ and made the choice to switch to an in-house position."
Steven R. Okun '91
Singapore
"While being bilingual can be a prerequisite for getting a job in certain markets, such as China, being multicultural is a prerequisite in every market."
Aditi Goel '12
Boston
"As a public defender, I am advocating for my clients in court almost every day — making bail arguments, requesting discovery, arguing motions, cross-examining witnesses, and having jury trials. There is no question in my mind that Virginia Law trained me for this job."
Lisa M. Friel '83
New York City
"UVA Law is unique in fostering an environment of teamwork and trust, both of which are so important to be successful in today’s world."
Susan L. Fox '91
Washington, D.C.
"Don’t let inertia keep you in a job that isn’t leading you in the right direction. Be open to nontraditional jobs and work in government and policy fields to expand your horizons."
James A. Pardo '79
Atlanta
"Do your homework and think through what you are looking for beyond a paycheck."
Terrica Redfield Ganzy '02
Atlanta
"I could go on and on about the professors who encouraged me, the students who supported me, the environment that allowed me to find my path and take it. In sum, however, I found my passion at UVA Law, and I haven’t turned back since."
Kurt L. Davis Jr. '09
Houston
"Employers know UVA Law in Houston, in the U.S. and beyond the borders of the U.S. "
