positions. Each gave invaluable advice on networking,
interviewing, coursework, and labor and employment law
advocacy.

Jackson Lewis LLP, a nation-wide law firm representing
management in labor and employment law issues, sponsors a partial
tuition merit scholarship in honor of Alan Becker, a Jackson Lewis
partner of beloved memory who distinguished himself for his
excellence as a labor and employment lawyer and for his selfless
commitment to his colleagues. The scholarship has been
awarded to a St. John’s law student each year since 2006, and was
presented to second year student Rebecca Leaf at the close of the
event.
Many law students attended the event, as well as other labor and
employment lawyers, who with the distinguished speakers spoke with
the students for several hours after the scholarship
presentation.
