Affinity Groups - Attorney Alumni Network - Montclair State University

Overview

In 2010, with a vision and purpose, Dr. Marilyn Tayler and Professor Avram Segall of the Political Science and Law Department began to develop plans to engage Montclair State alumni who had gone on to become attorneys. Naming this group the Attorney Alumni Network, there are now more than 250 alumni who have elected to join this exclusive network. Attorney alumni represent a wide spectrum of law careers from those sitting on or retired from the bench, practicing at large firms to solo practitioners, to recent graduates who are currently enrolled in law school.

An important way for you to stay connected to this network is to participate in an ambitious and ongoing program to bring alumni back to campus for gatherings, as guest speakers or to provide internship opportunities to current Pre-Law students.

The Department of Political Science and Law, in addition to its pre-law studies program, offers a major in Jurisprudence. It has had a phenomenal response from students and its success, in part, has been measured by the number of our majors accepted to law school and a unique articulation agreement with New York Law School. But the academic setting alone does not provide a lens into the real life world of lawyering. Your Montclair State degree and success carry great weight with our students in serving as role models. This partnering will provide immeasurable opportunities, and rewards, for students – and for you.

We look forward to hearing from you, about your success and, of course, your willingness to partner to continue to build our network and provide new and challenging opportunities for our students.
