"My time at Chase College of Law has been some of the best three years I’ve had. Throughout the past three years, I’ve been able to be involved in so many different projects and meet new people who share like minds in advocating for those who do not have a voice in our legal system. Chase has an excellent support system through their professors, career development office, and everyone in between. Every person that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting at Chase has always pushed me to be the best I can be, and that has resulted in my experience in the following areas:

Externship with the Kentucky Innocence Project
Externship with the Washington State Attorney General’s Office
Member of Chase’s Trial Team for two years
Inducted into the Order of Barristers for excellence and commitment to advocacy"

Career:

"My experience with Chase has been fantastic. It consists of engaging professors who are dedicated to helping students become effective lawyers. Every day, I enjoy being among my fellow students and being part of the Chase community. My favorite part is being able to hear the perspectives of a diverse and able group as we navigate the law. While pursuing my legal aspirations, I have been able to grow my family (welcoming my first child during the finals week of my 1L year) and my career as a member of the evening division. After completing a degree in Bioengineering and working in the fields of software development and database administration, this was vital for me. Through the Lunsford Academy, I was able to connect with professionals in the field and to focus my legal education on this merger."

"I have enjoyed my time at Chase. My goal was to immerse myself in everything Chase had to offer. I have been a member of our National Trial Team, competed in the opening statement competition, served as President of the Black Law Students Association, and served as a Chase Ambassador. The experiences I've gained have helped me prepare to be an attorney. I cannot imagine attending any other college."

Career:

"Professors bring real-world experiences to classrooms, which helps students understand both the legal theory and the practical application of the theory. Every professor’s enthusiasm for students’ success empowers students to ask questions and receive answers, which sharpens critical thinking and analytical skills."

Education:

Career:

"Working with the Kentucky Innocence Project at Chase has taught me to be an advocate. While reviewing a client’s file, you may find ‘good’ facts and you may find ‘bad’ facts, but knowing that your client is counting on you to investigate and to tell his or her story pushes you to be a loyal and zealous advocate."
