What C|M|LAW Means to Me?
While a student at Cleveland-Marshall, in the wake of social upheavals of the late 60's and 70's, I participated in efforts to change the established curriculum to offer more relevant public interest courses and to promote clinical programs serving the poor. I also took advantage of summer internships, funded through federal work study, with the ACLU and Legal Aid Society. It was during those years at C|M|LAW that I developed the belief that one can be an activist lawyer on behalf of the disadvantaged and make a positive contribution to society. Due to the support and encouragement from faculty and fellow students, C|M|LAW created an environment that shaped my confidence to emulate lawyers who sacrificed comfort and prestige to work for people's rights. My time at C|M|LAW was indispensable to the life in law that I have led for 45 years.
