“Connecting with the professional community of the Lex Fellowship really eased my nerves coming into my first year of law school, especially since I studied business in undergrad and didn’t have that legal network. My Legal Associate, who is a 2L at George Washington Law, was amazing and has continued to stay in touch with me as I now begin law school.”

-Amber M., Bryant University
