Growing up in a modest family in Eastern Europe, hard work wasn’t just a value for Remila Jasharllari ’25—it was a way of life. “My parents did not have the luxury of college degrees, but they gave me something even greater: the passion for education and learning, and the belief that I could dream bigger than I ever thought,” shared Remila. “As the first in my family to pursue a degree beyond high school, every step felt monumental – graduating college, receiving my acceptance letter from the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at ̨SWAGUniversity, and walking into my first class. It was not always an easy journey, and I had my own moments of doubt, but I will always honor where I came from while creating opportunities for those who come after me.”
Remila’s journey at Haub Law has been shaped by transformative experiences that challenged and inspired her to grow both personally and professionally. “There are so many opportunities for growth at Haub Law and I took advantage of every that could provide me with hands-on experience in the legal practice,” said Remila. She participated in both the Federal Judicial Honors Program and the State Judicial Externship offered at Haub Law. “Both programs offered me a rare glimpse into the judiciary and provided me invaluable insights into judicial decision-making.”
In addition to these experiences, Remila also served on the Board of the ̨SWAGLaw Review, which she describes as both impactful and empowering. “Working alongside my fellow students to publish cutting-edge legal scholarship was extremely meaningful. It fostered my leadership abilities while sharpening my legal research and writing skills.” Remila’s desire to give back to the Haub Law community also led her to serve as a Dean’s Scholar for both Contracts and Civil Procedure. “As a Dean’s Scholar I was able to deepen my understanding of the subjects at hand while providing a meaningful opportunity to give back to the fantastic Haub Law student community. All of these experiences not only shaped my legal education but also instilled in me the confidence and resilience to pursue a meaningful career in law.”
In addition to these hands-on learning opportunities, Remila feels the courseload at Haub Law allows students to sharpen their analytical skills while also exploring areas of interest in preparation for specific career paths. “At Haub Law, I took classes such as Investment Advisors Law & Compliance, Corporate Governance, Negotiations, Secured Transactions, Corporate Finance, receiving a solid foundation on corporate law. Each class brings the excitement of uncovering how corporations are built, governed, and transformed through deals and regulations. I had the opportunity to analyze the successes and failures of real-world transactions, gaining insights into the delicate balance of strategy, compliance, and client interests.” Remila also remains grateful for the mentorship she received from faculty, alumni, and other fellow students at Haub Law. “Whether it was guidance on finding a job opportunity or expanding my understanding of the law, these relationships provided me with invaluable support. They equipped me with the skills and confidence necessary to successfully transition into the legal profession, leaving a lasting impact on both my education and career journey.”
Remila’s dedication has paid off. She is set to graduate in May 2025 as part of the part-time program and will join Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP as an associate in the fall, pending bar admission. She looks forward to this amazing opportunity and is particularly excited to explore the intricacies of transactional law. “Transactional law creates value and is always forward looking. I am eager to be part of that at Arnold & Porter.”
As a first-generation immigrant student, Remila acknowledges the challenges of navigating unfamiliar territory. She credits Haub Law’s Center for Career and Professional Development (CCPD) with lightening that burden. “Whether it was career advice, refining my interview skills, or finding job opportunities, the CCPD was instrumental in lightening that burden, providing me with unwavering support every step of the way. The support system at ̨SWAGis truly remarkable- it made me feel like I was never navigating this journey alone.”
Looking back, Remila reflects with gratitude on her time at Haub Law. “Haub Law believed in me right from the start. Without the generous financial support from the school, I do not think I would have been able to attend law school. Haub Law is a school that values its students and invests in their future, and I am the living proof of that commitment. The part-time program was another blessing, offering me the flexibility to balance my responsibilities while pursuing my studies. I am deeply grateful for the like-minded, inspiring students I’ve met along the way – connections that have turned into lifelong relationships. Haub Law didn’t just shape my career; it gave me a sense of belonging and a community I will cherish forever.”
