| Moritz grads heeded call to head west |
 Knowing that Ohio State Law alumni are located throughout the country, it’s not surprising to hear that Seattle has its fair share of Buckeyes. But one class in particular – the Class of 1968 – includes at least seven members who relocated there shortly after graduating. Most of them remained in Seattle, leading successful careers there. We caught up with three of them – Ron Perey, Jon Schorr, and Bo Barker – to learn how they are doing and what they remember about Ohio State Law nearly 40 years later. Perey is a plaintiffs’ personal injury and medical malpractice trial lawyer; Schorr is a CPA tax lawyer; and Barker is a plaintiffs’ construction defect trial lawyer. (Read More) |

| Serving Others: The Common Denominator for an Uncommon Student |
 To say Simon Lee’s work experience is diverse would be an understatement. The 34-year-old 2L’s resume is a potpourri of occupations, including stints as a kindergarten teacher, American Sailing Association certified sailing instructor, Fulbright Scholar in South Korea, after-school tutoring center director, a program director and grant writer for a nonprofit organization, a member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, in addition to working for one of the hundreds of dot-coms that exploded in the early 2000s. After all these jobs, Simon turned to law school to do what he enjoyed doing the most – helping people. (Read More) |
