help individuals solve their legal problems, offers this advice to
St. John’s Law students, “Do not limit yourself to the type of law
that others want you to practice. There are numerous opportunities
to practice law in areas that truly engage you. Find your
happiness and make a difference through pro-bono opportunities,
public interest or not-for-profit organizations and the pursuit of
work that makes you feel alive and active in the community.”
