Kareem Vessup
Queens, New York
J.D., ‘04
Kareem Vessup wanted to make a difference in New York’s minority
community. During his time as a student at the School of Law he was
inspired by his fellow students and their diverse range of
backgrounds, and was a national champion at the 2003 National Trial
Competition in Houston. As a graduate, he draws upon that
experience every day in his work with underrepresented segments of
the community.
“I’ve always wanted to try to make a difference for African
Americans and other minorities—to help level the playing field in
the legal community. I don’t think I could have found a better
learning environment for this than St. John’s.”
