Douglas Bouton '10

"I think the people are what make UVA Law so special, enjoyable and distinguishable from other law school experiences."
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."
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."
Ruthie Ma Swilling '03

"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."
J. Leonard Teti '05
New York City
"Be ready to see lots of things you haven't seen before in law school, and bring with you a sense of curiosity and willingness to learn what you don't know."
Adrienne Penta '03
Boston
"There are more UVA lawyers than you might suspect in Boston, and we will all find time to speak with a Virginia Law student interested in working here."
Eduardo Ramos-Gomez LL.M. '85
Singapore
"Be global. Think of yourself and the United States only as a humble contributor to an international symphony."
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."
Neil McKittrick '87
Boston
"In the new legal market, networking is more important than ever. "
