In honor of Pride Month, we want to recognize all the great work being done in the LGBT Practicum, who back in February, led two days of LGBT law clinics at the Q Center in Syracuse. Practicum students worked in teams of two to conduct information gathering dialogs with clients and documenting their legal needs. Students then helped clients complete all the necessary paperwork — including petitions, complaints, orders, certifications, and more — and in some cases filed it that same day. Learn more about the LGBT Practicum at the link in our bio! Student participants included Tristan Jahn, Jason Godelman, Tyler Felts, Giana Wang, Scarlett Zhou, Chloe Huang, Sean Lee, and David Browne. #LGBTLaw #LGBTQ+ #pride #pridemonth #CornellLawClinics

From a very young age, Lisa Vigilante was taught the importance of giving back. When Vigilante was a sophomore at Cornell University, she took a labor law class with Professor Kate Griffith, where she realized “giving back” might actually be her calling.
She became a 3+3 student, which is where an undergraduate student is given the chance to study as a 1L at Cornell Law School during what would have been their senior year, allowing them to receive their bachelor’s and Juris Doctor degrees in six years, rather than seven.
Now headed into her 3L year this upcoming fall semester, Vigilante is one of fourteen students in the 3+3 program at the Law School currently, which is less than 10 percent of the Class of 2025. Entrance into this program is no small achievement, but for the students who do enter, it can be the reward of a lifetime!
