Suddenly finding themselves at the epicenter of a global pandemic
and a renewed fight for racial and social justice, the members of
Brooklyn Law School’s Class of 2021 demonstrated remarkable focus,
creativity, and resilience. Now, they are launching their careers
prepared to lead in the law and beyond.
by Dominick DeGaetano
“The journey you’re starting on tonight will re-create you in many ways. Sometimes you will fight against that, and other times you will be willing to be changed. But, at the end of three or four years, or maybe something in between, you will all be different.”
The words of Associate Dean Stacy Caplow at the Law School’s August 2018 Convocation ceremony resonate today in ways the new students then in the audience, many of whom graduate in May 2021, never would have imagined.

The members of the Class of 2021 have been witnesses to—and participants in—history. As the devastating COVID-19 pandemic and mass protests against racial injustice roiled Brooklyn and the nation, students had to quickly adjust to the online classroom, as they also dealt with a range of sometimes dire circumstances on the home front, including illness, loss of employment, and even food insecurity. Meanwhile, they searched for jobs in an employment market reeling from the pandemic.

Despite these challenges, the members of the Class of 2021 remained more determined than ever to make the most of their legal education, support their classmates, work to advance diversity and inclusion at the Law School, and pursue careers that will make a difference.

Meet nine members of the Class of 2021 who, with their ingenuity, resilience, and stellar academic achievements, are ready to join the generations of graduates who weathered history-shaking times and went on to change the world.

Sydney Abualy ’21
While at Brooklyn Law School, Sydney Abualy discovered her passion for technology law. Her exposure to the borough’s tech and startup scenes led her to cofound the Law School’s chapter of Legal Hackers, which brings together lawyers and technologists to explore the intersection of law and technology.
During the pandemic, I stayed in Brooklyn. Of course, I was not expecting to spend my final semesters in law school working remotely, but I had a smooth transition, which I attribute to the Law School giving me the opportunity to stay grounded in the community and remain independent.

The pandemic compelled me to get creative around securing professional opportunities. Right before the pandemic hit, I went to a Wall Street Blockchain Alliance (WSBA) event at Linklaters discussing the federal regulatory landscape for crypto token offerings. It turned out that the organization was seeking help managing the efforts of more than 150 practitioners around the world. I joined them and took on that role, which gave me the opportunity to continue to explore the blockchain and digital currency space—building on my work at Blank Rome and leading to my internship at Coinbase. The rules of this nascent industry are still being developed, which calls for creative lawyering that is very interesting.

I can ascribe a lot of the opportunities that I’ve had to the connections I have made and the work that I’ve done. Finding innovative ways to develop professional relationships can further you in your career. For me, Meetup groups gave me the opportunity to connect with startup founders and learn to speak their language. But when you don’t have a Meetup group at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to go to, what are the ways that you can stay in touch with people? Don’t be afraid to send an email to somebody you know in an industry you want to enter and ask for a cup of coffee over a Zoom call.

Zoe Bernstein always had a healthy skepticism of “state power”—when she was 10 and her parents refused to put a telephone line in her room, she made her first protest sign to march in front of their television set. A first-generation college graduate, she says her keen interest in becoming a public defender drew her to Brooklyn Law School’s robust public interest programs and opportunities.
I got my first taste of criminal defense with the Criminal Defense and Advocacy Clinic, and I’m now in my fourth semester doing work connected to it. I’ve represented clients charged with prostitution-related offenses in the human trafficking intervention court in Queens, and worked with clients to vacate prior convictions, which were sometimes decades old. After New York State passed the Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act in 2019, we helped clients use that new law to argue for resentencing.

Last summer, as part of my Brooklyn Law Students for the Public Interest Fellowship, I interned remotely at the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender. I worked directly under the head of the office’s sex litigation department, helping to advise practitioners and do advocacy work. I assisted a client who was being released after having been incarcerated since the 1970s, teaching him how to use a smartphone and other day-to-day skills.

In criminal law, you can come in with really firm ideas about who is a victim, who is a perpetrator, and what is a crime, but when you’re actually seeing the cases firsthand, it’s not as rigid as Law & Order: SVU would have you believe. Oftentimes, the perpetrators of harm are also victims themselves. The work complicates your view on things but, I think, in a good way, because you can challenge your own assumptions.

Mark Bhuptani ’21
Mark Bhuptani did not plan for a career in law. A Uganda-born chemical engineer working in the oil and gas industry in Houston, he found himself still looking for “the right challenge.” Drawn by the strength of its alumni network, he came to Brooklyn Law School, where he discovered a passion for intellectual property law.
My first summer, I worked at the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division, close to the Law School. I worked with Justice John Leventhal ’79, who has a special interest in scientific matters in the courtroom. I helped him and his co-authors with their book for judges on how to admit complex scientific evidence in cases. Much of that material covered genetic engineering in the law, which inspired my note in the Brooklyn Journal of International Law. The tools for genetic modification are now out there, but they are minimally regulated, even in the United States. I wrote about this vacuum and suggested a potential regulatory framework that could address the challenges involved.

Earlier in law school, while we were still in the classroom, I was able to build some strong connections. During the pandemic, it’s been difficult to expand on those, but not impossible. I think it’s amazing that we can continue to learn and build relationships.

People in New York say that it takes 10 or 20 years of living in the city to become a New Yorker, but I feel like the pandemic cut that in half for me. Experiencing the city coming to a standstill was such a surreal experience, but watching everybody get through it together made me feel so proud to be part of the New York community.

At age 14, Brian Brown went along with his cousin, a criminal defense attorney, to a client visit. That experience set the Queens native on the road to Brooklyn Law School, where he has served in a variety of student leadership roles, including as a founding member of the new Student Advisor and Mentorship Program (SAMP).
Those of us who worked on SAMP set out to change the start of the law school experience. In the program, first-year students are assigned to an upperclass advisor, with whom they work for the entire year. The advisors conduct programs and workshops, covering topics like course registration and finding a summer internship. We also hold social events, so the new students can ease into the law school experience better.

As a student support coordinator, I oversee some of the programming for the student advisors who work with the first-year students. We’re planning a program to match students with faculty advisors and are working with different affinity groups on campus to ensure that students from diverse backgrounds have access to all the resources.

It’s been difficult advising students this year, because they are going through a dramatically different experience than we had in our first year. At the same time, a lot of aspects are the same. In some ways, there are even more resources available. Thanks to Zoom, students are able to attend more programs and get assistance more easily.

It’s exciting to watch SAMP grow beyond the core group of folks who started it and become a part of the Law School’s programming. The students have really appreciated its offerings, and the rising class of third-year students is eager to help the program continue next year. I hope that it can continue to evolve, grow, and be a valuable resource to students in the years to come.

Jonathan Callaway ’21
Jonathan Callaway balanced two major commitments while studying at the Law School: a part-time position in Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom’s marketing department, and flying for the U.S. Army National Guard. Callaway was mobilized by the Army three times during law school, but he never skipped a beat studying for his degree.
I don’t come from a very prestigious background. I grew up in the middle of nowhere in a little trailer park town in Texas. No one else in my family has ever been to college. And while my family’s been in the military since George Washington, no one else has ever been an officer.

I came to Brooklyn Law School because I felt it would be tolerant and accepting of me and my background, of who I am. People at Brooklyn don’t treat people who don’t fit the traditional mold of a law student like an outcast. I’ve made friends from all walks of life here.

It was hard to be an eager student in two radically different worlds, law and aviation. In three years, I feel like I’ve done nine years’ worth of work. I would make flash cards so that anytime I had a free moment, I could be studying, polishing, and refreshing. During my first year of law school, I was sent on detachment to Georgia for a few weeks. On the aircraft that took us, each person was only allowed to bring a certain amount of weight, and two-thirds of my weight was my textbooks.

I know at some point I’m going to have a son or daughter come home and say that someone told them that they can’t accomplish something, and I’ll get to tell them not to listen. All you have to do is tell yourself you’re going to do what you’re setting out to do.

As Student Bar Association (SBA) president, Bridget McDonagh used her voice to be an advocate and sounding board for her peers as they dealt with the daily challenges of the pandemic. She was among the first people the Law School administration would turn to for the student perspective on issues that would affect their experience.
My time in law school has underscored the importance of addressing both sides of an issue and asking for as many opinions as possible. As SBA president this year, I needed to advocate for all Brooklyn Law students. You can’t advocate for one side without also looking at the consequences of decisions on everyone involved. In some ways, the SBA acts as a liaison for students, connecting them to the people who can help them. Our peers know us, so they’re naturally more comfortable bringing issues to us than they would [be bringing them] to someone they don’t know as well.

For instance, students were concerned when the administration decided not to schedule a spring break this year, which they rely on to relax and catch up on work. So, the administration asked us if they should instead plan a break before finals. My executive board talked it over and canvassed our classmates, and the consensus was that people wanted that break—so we helped to make it happen.

Another example is pre–bar exam classes. The workload for those courses is sometimes tough to juggle with those from other classes that are worth more credits. We advised on different scheduling options for the assignments and on how they may impact grades.

These experiences have made me understand what I believe and what I really want in my career: to be in a position where my legal opinion matters, and where I can make a difference.

Hyezhin Rhee ’21
The child of diplomats, Hyezhin Rhee had already traveled the world and lived in multiple countries before starting college. A “global citizen,” she drew from that experience to chart her course in law school.
During my second year of law school, the Brooklyn Law School Asian Pacific Americans Law Student Association sent out an email from the Korean American Lawyers Association of Greater New York (KALAGNY) seeking a volunteer to help run their monthly pro bono clinics. Growing up, I was taught by my parents that, when you can, you have to be the source of happiness for others. When that email came in, I knew I had the opportunity to help.

Before COVID, I would go to the clinic, held at KALAGNY’s office in Manhattan, and help walk-ins, most of whom were Korean Americans. Many were not fluent in English, but I was able to utilize my Korean language skills to help.

Once the pandemic started, we had to stop providing the clinic for three months. That might have been fine for us, but that didn’t mean it was fine for other people. When there’s trouble, there’s more need for help. I helped the clinic adopt new technologies to continue serving the community during this hardship. With those resources, we could take virtual steps to lend help to our neighbors.

I think the pandemic taught us as attorneys the need to adapt. It was a chance for our generation to show to others that technology can help us be better lawyers.

Initially working in disease research at Hospital for Special Surgery, Celeste Russell realized that much of her work was directed by the legal framework of policy decisions. She enrolled at the Law School so she could gain the tools to shift the policy conversation and bring attention to the lack of financial resources available to marginalized communities.
For me, law school has been about gaining skill sets to assist marginalized communities and finding the gaps that people aren’t too concerned about in terms of justice and accessibility. Lots of folks are already working on health and housing policy, consumer fraud, and criminal justice reform. Those are great opportunities I will continue to support and advocate for, but I’m interested in working every day in the spaces that people aren’t thinking about, such as in tech law, data privacy, and trusts and estates.

As a part of the Law School’s Pro Bono Scholar program, I took—and passed—the bar exam in February and, since March 2021, have been working full time at the City Bar Justice Center assisting elderly low-income cancer patients [in drafting] wills, powers of attorney, healthcare proxies, and other end-of-life documents. Those services usually aren’t widely offered pro bono, due to the perception that only the rich have assets that they would want to leave their families.

I saw this firsthand during an internship with New York Legal Assistance Group my first year of law school. I worked on foreclosures, some of which were occurring because someone had passed away without an executor or a will. The fact that even in death, we continue to have disparities based on how much money we made in the world is a tragedy. This experience showed me how much this work is needed, and how much we need to expand these services for clients.

Jedediah Tifft ’21
When Jed Tifft first moved to New York City after college, he worked as a paralegal at Appellate Advocates. Inspired by his first taste of the law, and with an eye to the future, he decided to attend law school part-time in the evening while continuing to work with his immigration clients.
I was passionate about the work I had been doing as a paralegal, and thought I was going to become a public defender when I graduated. But things changed once I took on a few internships and explored areas outside criminal and immigration law.

During my internship with Judge Andrea Masley of the New York County Supreme Court, I sat in on a court hearing concerning the fallout of a merger transaction and became fascinated by the underlying details of the case. Until that point, I hadn’t thought of going down a corporate, transactional route. I read more and took classes in those areas, ultimately deciding that’s what I wanted to pursue.

My world turned upside down in the same way everyone else’s did in March 2020. Working remotely while also taking classes was not without its challenges. My summer associateship with Clifford Chance was also conducted remotely, but it was still a great experience.

If I had any advice for new law students, it would be to take full advantage of all the opportunities you’ll have to learn about and experience different areas of the law. Don’t be afraid to try internships in an area that might not fit within your preconceived career plan, and stay open to the many opportunities the Law School offers.
