“I have found that graduating from NSL (being non-ABA accredited) hasn’t impeded my career in any way. I have been a candidate for US Magistrate Judge, offered magistrate judge in juvenile court and a criminal judge top candidate. I’m on the exec committee for the exclusive Inn of Court, and the committee for the Board of Professional Responsibility. Just stay clean. Do your job and be kind to people.”
