MY LAW SCHOOL JOURNEY
My name is Fumnanya Ekhator and I am currently a 2L at a top ten Ivy League law school. Before law school I worked in the White House Office of Public Engagement under the Obama administration, and then went on to work as a paralegal in DC Big Law. Following my OneL summer, I interned for the Philadelphia office of the Pennsylvania Innocence Project, and recently secured a 2L summer associate position at a top two law firm in Philadelphia. I graduated from Dartmouth College in 2013.

Thank you for this. I’m currently about to graduate with my BBA in Marketing and I am considering law school. I want to work in the entertainment law realm. I am still on the fence and weighing my options. 😩
Do you feel as though law school has paid off financially?
Thanks and off topic ,you are gergous!
Thank you for sharing your advice. I've been contemplating applying to Law school, but it's a huge commitment. I love how you emphasized the skills you obtained earning a law degree. I definitely value the educational aspect in which you become a critical thinker and develop logical reasoning. Your video was so helpful!
So I need to graduate summa cum laude in Government from Harvard to get into law school?
I’m starting this journey. What study material do you recommend?
alright you've convinced me
Hello, I would like to email or speak to you somehow about some detailed questions I have regarding law school. I’m currently 27 and contemplating which avenue would be best for me to carry out the goals I currently have. Please get with me at your convenience

You should become a Professor of Law, you have an apt knowledge of this noble profession. Keep on moving on to great heights. Ubi Jus, Ibi Remedium
Don’t forget the money made off the bonds created by the court. There’s a bond for every charge, on every person. Those bonds are traded on the market and billions of dollars are generated. The bonds mature after the person serves their sentence or dies. That’s why courts pile on as many charges as possible. Much like giving someone another life sentence, even though they already have one. It creates money. Hence the saying that “he/she has paid their debt to society”.
Omg you're gorgeous 😭😭😭❤❤❤
You look so smart! God bless you
you're an AMAZING speaker!
Nice to meet you.
