Director of Advocacy and Policy, Mississippi Center for Justice

“I learned from many great lawyers at the firm and got to see how partners have to get creative with their strategy and problem-solving. My time at Morgan Lewis also prepared me to work with different types of personalities. I worked with a lot of partners, including those outside the New York office, which helped me to learn to manage up and to understand different working styles. Learning how people work and think not only provides you with good examples of how to approach issues, but it also helps you be a good manager because it gives you an appreciation for different learning styles.”

President and CEO, New York Bankers Association

“My reputation, and the organization’s reputation, depends on the excellence of everything we put forward. So, the importance of real attention to detail that I learned as a lawyer has been invaluable.”

“I believe law students need to be ready for practice when they walk out the door. Coming from a place like Morgan Lewis, where we had so much training—formal, on the job, etc.—I bring all those skills to my students all the time.”
