My name is Kellie Harrison and I’m a 2L at Syracuse Law. I’m originally from Vestal, New York, and went to undergrad at Northeastern University. Before law school, I worked as a legal secretary for a law firm specializing in criminal, family, and divorce law. I’m interested mostly in criminal law but look forward to pursuing many other avenues while at the College of Law. Last summer I interned with the Legal Aid Society of San Diego where I worked in the areas of domestic violence and evictions defense. I chose Syracuse Law because of the sense of community that I felt as soon as I stepped through the doors. Everyone here is willing to do whatever they can to help you succeed and I’ve already made such great friends and connections!

Hi, my name is Abbigail Artwell, and I am a 2L at Syracuse University College of Law. I am originally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and a minor in pre-law.

Syracuse is a cute town with a unique historical heritage and strong educational opportunities. I chose Syracuse University College of Law because of its excellent faculty and career services for students. It also has a great network of alumni, including the current President of the United States. After coming to Syracuse Law, I was impressed with the diverse opportunities within the campus, such as dual-degree programs with the nation’s top graduate schools like the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and the Whitman School of Management, and study abroad programs to major cities around the world. I also loved my classmates who were caring, supportive, and have a loving heart for the international community.

I chose Syracuse University College of Law because of the large and strongly connected community of alumni. The College of Law puts forth a lot of effort to ensure students have ample opportunities to network with and learn from alumni. In addition, I chose Syracuse Law because I plan to stay in New York post-law school and thought it would be beneficial to be learning New York State law while in school. Lastly, I was excited to be part of a large university with a wide range of activities to be involved in.

Syracuse University College of Law was the only law school I applied to. Attending the University as an undergraduate allowed me to experience what it means to be part of the Orange community, so when I returned to school, I knew this was where I wanted to be. The opportunities available to students at Syracuse Law are endless and reach far beyond your years on campus. You become part of a worldwide network of encouraging professors, remarkable alumni, and innovative students who will stay with you for life.
