From Boston to San Francisco, alumni offer career and networking advice.
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."
Kandice L. Horsey '03
London
"I formed relationships that have lasted since my arrival at law school, and have been truly meaningful. Through this, I have learned to network in a way that creates and maintains bonds without being (or seeming) opportunistic."
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. "
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."
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."
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."
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."
James A. Pardo '79
Atlanta
