    Hey Kevin,
    It seems like you do quite a bit as a law student! How do you balance it all? I imagine that it may become overwhelming at times. Do you have any advice for students with similar ambition?

      Hey Sabrina – I’d say there are two keys to doing a lot of things in law school and still being successful academically: 1) don’t procrastinate and 2) schedule your days. I think a lot of people get into trouble when they do a lot of activities and don’t use their time efficiently. For example, I always make sure I hit the books for a certain number of hours and schedule a set time for lunch. It’s easy for a 30 min. lunch to turn into a 1 hr lunch – if you set a schedule, you’ll end up holding yourself accountable and avoiding lost time.

    Hi Kevin! Welcome to Preprobono. Thank you so much for coming to speak with us; I’m really excited to hear about your journey to law school and law school experience. It’s really cool that you work for Mr. Booker– I heard he’s a really upstanding guy. See you on Saturday!

    Hey Kevin, we are happy and grateful to have you come speak with us. I lived in Newark for some time and went to high school in the city, so i’m looking forward to hearing what you have to say about the city’s school system and your current employer, mayor Booker. Education policy is a subject that is near and dear to me, so i will be listening with keen interest.
