Admissions

“I participated in four different clinics while at UVA, which were hands down my favorite part of law school. Through these clinics I was able to engage with the community, practice exactly the type of law I planned to do postgrad, and form meaningful connections with professors and mentors.”

“My goal in attending law school was to learn how to be an advocate who walks alongside the individuals and communities I will advocate with, and through this experience I have seen some powerful examples of exactly that.”
 

“Law school is the culmination of my interest in the interdisciplinary intersection between national security, law and business.”

“UVA Law did what I thought was an admirable job of emphasizing, from the start, that higher education is a place where we engage with ideas, not shout them down.”

“I feel more resolved about why I became a lawyer — to help people and to do good in the world — and hope to keep that front and center as the next phase of my career unfolds.”

“You’ll be surrounded by capable, smart and kind people. Learn from all of them. There’s no right way to do law school, but the only wrong way is to do it alone.”

“A reminder I have had on my wall since the beginning of law school, ‘You can do hard things,’ has been reaffirmed throughout this experience, and I am excited to embark on my next adventure.”

“The culture here, as well as the physical environment, let me stay myself in all the ways that mattered.”
