On March 13th, UCLI was proud to host the third Pre-Law Fellowship seminar for the 2026 cohort! In this session, the Fellows were invited to join the many wonderful attorneys at the Parr Brown Gee and Loveless firm for the day. We are grateful to Parr Brown Gee and Loveless for providing us with the space and resources to support our Fellows.
The seminar started with an informative panel of attorneys: Jascha Clark, Aerin Christensen, Dick Baldwin, and Drake Walker. The Fellows engaged in a thoughtful conversation as the panel shared their experiences at firms and law school. We appreciate the help that these attorneys gave, as they provided a valuable example of how well a firm could work together. As shared by Jascha, “I was looking for a team where I felt supported – a real partner, someone who cared about me as a person.” We value this perspective on the importance of team inclusion in a firm, especially from the successful attorneys who joined us.
Fellows got to ask pressing questions regarding the transition from undergraduate institutions to law school. Each attorney shared their experience based on location, cost, and experience. They shared the importance of networking and what kind of attitude it takes to succeed. As Drake said, “It was interesting to see that when you just have to be humble, and nice, and a kind person—that will open doors for you.”

Fellows were later paired with volunteer mentors who operate in the legal field (i.e, attorneys, law students). Their mentorship started strong as each Fellow was introduced one-on-one to learn more about their mentor’s profession. We are excited to see how the Fellows create a strong connection with their mentors to help them navigate their legal professional path.

To conclude the seminar, Spivey Consulting Group gave a virtual presentation to the Fellowship cohort. Paula Gluzman and Sir Williams from Spivey provided an in-depth overview about the application process, navigating LSAC, and tips on resume and letters for recommendations. We are grateful for Spivey Consulting’s guidance and expertise they consistently provide for the 2026 Pre-Law Fellowship cohort.
We would like to thank all in attendance for coming together to support our 2026 Pre-Law Fellowship Cohort. Thank you to all of the panelists for speaking, the mentors that came to meet their mentees, and especially extend our gratitude to Parr Brown Gee & Loveless for allowing UCLI to host this seminar in their office.
