“I want to be accountable for helping individuals who can’t speak up for themselves,” says Loyola student Daniel Koen.
Student profile: Daniel Koen Law in the service of others Evening student combines writing with law on a path to public interest
“I didn’t go back to school to do something that’s just intellectually stimulating,” says part-time law student Daniel Koen. “I want to be accountable for helping individuals who can’t speak up for themselves.”
In fact, Koen chose Loyola School of Law for its public service orientation. “Looking at schools,” he says, “Loyola seemed to have a commitment to helping people. That was important to me.”
Koen came to this realization while working for the American Medical Association (AMA) in Chicago. He’d come to town to earn a PhD degree in poetry writing, and eventually began working at the AMA while doing desktop publishing on the side. A focus of his AMA job was legal issues, particularly policy. “I found the legal side really interesting,” he says. “The more I learned, the more cool I thought it was.”
But instead of policy, Koen was leaning toward advocacy and helping individuals. “I found my agenda was different,” he says.
So now Koen balances work at the AMA with law instead of literature. And when
