“KU Law creates lawyers with a point of view; I knew from my first labor law class that I wanted to represent the interests of employees and their unions. Green Hall not only gave me a strong sense of what I could accomplish as a lawyer, but also emphasized the fundamentals, advocacy and good writing. While my work has since taken me from Kansas to the East Coast, that KU confidence and sense of what it means to be a lawyer continues to guide me all these years later.”
