Previous Legal Associates

Isaac S. | Harvard Law School | Legal Associate

Isaac graduated from Harvard Law School in May 2021 with a J.D. Previously, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from Howard Payne University (HPU) in May 2018 with two degrees: a Bachelors of Arts in Civic Leadership & Public Policy through the Guy D. Newman Honors Academy (a multidisciplinary program focused on leadership, service, good citizenship, legal studies, economics, international affairs/foreign policy, public policy, and philosophy) and a Bachelors of Arts in Social Science with an emphasis on Jurisprudence. He is now an Associate in the litigation & enforcement practice group at Ropes & Gray's Washington, D.C. office.

“I not only found professional development value in getting to coordinate meetings with law firms and legal professionals for the enrichment of these students, but working with The Lex Fellowship was first and foremost an opportunity to pour into the lives of future leaders to help provide valuable mentorship, advice, and encouragement as they make important life decisions about academics and career paths. This was a wonderful opportunity to shape others positively through academic, professional, and relational development, and I am thrilled to have been a part of making that effort a reality.”

Tyler graduated Magna Cum Laude from Dartmouth College with degrees in Government and History. He earned his J.D. from Georgetown University School of Law, and completed legal internships with the U.S. Coast Guard, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, National Governors Association (Homeland Security Devision), and the United States Department of Justice.

“The Lex Fellowship is a fortuitous and unique opportunity for those who are considering attending law school and life after the bar. Through Lex, students will be immersed in the life of a junior associate: working on cases, collaborating with peers, discussing recommendations with senior partners, and learning about the myriad of practice groups available to a modern practitioner. This is more than fetching coffee; this is actual, experiential work that will help you learn and grow as a prospective law student and lawyer.”

Sydney S. | American university Law School | Legal Associate

“The Lex Fellowship provides an incredibly unique opportunity to network with attorneys from all over the world. Seeing the fellows develop their understanding of the legal concepts we were learning and gain confidence in themselves throughout the program was such a joy. Many of the Fellows I have worked with have continued to make strides towards being successful law school candidates, and hearing from many of them about how the Fellowship has continued to impact their education to this day has been incredibly rewarding. ”
