Haub Law student Remila Jasharllari was recently awarded the prestigious NYC Bar Diversity Fellowship. The Diversity Fellowship Program offers students from underrepresented backgrounds to gain experience at major companies and firms in New York and the opportunity to learn more about corporate law. This summer, she will be interning with New York Life, within their Office of the General Counsel.

鈥淎s a first-generation student, born and raised overseas, I have learned early on the values of diversity and how important it is to be accepted for who you are,鈥 said Remila. 鈥淢y research in my undergraduate years focused on analyzing how an individual鈥檚 socio-economic background affects their academic performance, and their chances of social mobility in life. There are wonderful individuals out there that do not fit our predetermined notion of what success is supposed to look like, but that have the potential to succeed.鈥 At Haub Law, Remila is motivated not only to succeed, but to help others along the way 鈥 she serves as both a peer mentor and a Dean Scholar, as a way of giving back.

Remila credits Haub Law鈥檚 Center for Career and Professional Development (CCPD) with her being awarded this competitive Fellowship, which has stringent selection criteria. 鈥淐CPD assisted in polishing my resume and reviewing my personal statement. I participated in several mock interviews in order to better understand and master the interview process. Dean Kapila Juthani and Assistant Director Hailey Harvis were always willing to help guide me along the way and push me to bring out the best of myself during this whole process. Their advice is always practical and genuine, and I continue to be extremely grateful for their support, along with all of the guidance I have received from others at Haub Law.鈥

Currently, Remila was selected to participate in a State Judicial Externship, where she was placed with the Hon. Gretchen Walsh in the New York Supreme Court, Commercial Division. This summer, Remila looks forward to gaining experience in corporate law, an interest she has held since her undergraduate studies. 鈥淚 took various classes on business law and securities during college. In law school, I continue to be interested in detailed work and strategic thinking. Now, I will have the opportunity to sharpen these skills while understanding the day-to-day operations of a big corporation.鈥
