The faculty were very Safe Passage Project, and I ended up liking involved. I really felt like I was seen as a immigration law a lot. person, as strange as that might sound. But law school can be very tough. I looked at schools all over the place.

NYLS: Did you always want to go to law school in New York City? Was NYLS’s location beneficial? GC: It was a great location. I was two blocks from immigration court and close to family court and criminal court. A lot of the immigration service providers are in downtown Manhattan. Legal Aid was a 20-minute walk, which gave me the chance to fit in some exercise.

Seth Lemaster 1L
My interest in law school began with my exposure to the legislative process and various legal work while working in Arkansas state government. What started as a personal dream quickly became a dream I shared with my wife, Sarah. By attending law school together, we have been able to gain inspiration and motivation from each other. Thanks to many individuals at NYLS, my law school experience has been incredible from the very beginning. Lauren Majchrowski ’13 and Jorge Rodriguez ’12 in Admissions have always been willing to thoroughly answer my extensive questions. Oral Hope, the Registrar, was (and still is) always available to provide assistance. This past semester only built upon my wonderful experience at NYLS. In each of my classes, the professors were always willing to meet with students and invest their personal time in our legal journey. Currently I am interested in litigation, but I have yet to decide on a specific field of law. I am excited about taking Civil Procedure this semester. My first semester courses emphasized key issues in the judicial process that play a vital role in practicing law, and I want to gain a deeper understanding of the subject. Regardless of my career path, I wish to maintain an outward focus. I have seen the impact one person can have on others by keeping a positive attitude, giving words of encouragement, and maintaining a strong work ethic. No matter how I use my law degree, I hope my work is underlined with these qualities.

When I received my acceptance email from NYLS, I was living in Seville, Spain, training to compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics on Angola’s rowing team. After a failed shot at qualifying for the London 2012 Games, I had decided to dedicate the next three years to trying to make it to Rio de Janeiro in 2016 before going to law school. The second time around, my training paid off, and I proudly competed in the 2016 Summer Games. Like Olympic training, law school is hard and can be humbling. I came in thinking that it would be fairly linear, in the sense that I would see results proportional to the time I spent studying or preparing for assignments. What I have found is that the challenges are ever different and increasing, but you never settle. NYLS is a fantastic school with incredibly motivated and caring faculty and students, and I constantly learn from them. I am highly interested in immigration law, and I am looking forward to employment and immigration law classes and working with the Safe Passage Project. I have always wanted to work in a legal field that would allow me to meet clients from all walks of life. It is absolutely fundamental to empathize with your clients and to be able to understand their experiences, their problems, and their needs.

I knew I was going to study at NYLS during Legal Scholars Day last February. My parents were visiting from Costa Rica, and I was excited to attend the event with them. After spending most of the morning whispering translated Spanish into my mother’s ear, Jorge Rodriguez ’12 from the Admissions Office approached us and volunteered to give us a private tour in Spanish. My parents and I felt welcomed and truly enjoyed our visit. My parents have always been extremely supportive of all my decisions, including my decision to move to the United States to access better education. I had been told that I would not find real friends or caring professors in law school, but at NYLS, I found amazing friends and professors who dedicate a lot of time making sure we understand and enjoy their class material. As an international student, I have a particular interest in exploring the complex and fascinating area of international law. I am looking forward to events organized by the Center for International Law, including the London Summer Program. I believe that one of the most important qualities a lawyer can have is creativity—a great lawyer has to listen and fully understand a client’s situation in order to come up with the best, often most creative, strategies for his or her client.
Kevon Weekes 1L Evening
I came here with an interest in family law that only intensified after meeting with Professor Lisa Grumet and others in the Diane Abbey Law Institute for Children and Families. In eighth grade, my parents were involved in a custody dispute. I remember my mother’s lawyer so clearly: I felt like she was my attorney. She was a strong, confident woman who sparked my interest in law. A lot of children don’t have that person. That’s who I want to be. I am from the Caribbean, and NYLS is my second home. I would tell someone who’s considering coming here, without a doubt, do it. This place makes me feel limitless. In 10 years, I hope to be the epitome of what NYLS stands for—not only successful in my field, but giving my clients the feeling that the world is theirs, regardless of what they went through. I am a paralegal, and I knew that balancing work and school was going to be hard. It’s like living two lives. Between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., I’m at work. After 5:30 p.m., I’m a student. During that half hour in between I listen to music, I try not to think about anything. But even when I’m tired, I remember why I chose this and who I want to be. That keeps me going.
