Adam Logan（15届）加入Sanghavi Law Office

这位2015届毕业生利用自己的临床经验，在一家小诊所找到了有意义的工作。

Adam Logan (’15) was introduced to the legal profession by his first summer job; he spent the months between high school and college organizing the filing system in a small immigration law firm. 他在圣十字学院（College of the Holy Cross）学习历史，并对美国原住民历史产生了兴趣，但暑假期间，他继续在这家公司工作，从行政工作一步步晋升到帮助编写移民申请文件。 “This experience of working closely with attorneys over a number of years opened my eyes to the wide range of professional paths available to JDs, and piqued my interest in applying to law school,” he says.

洛根是马萨诸塞州人，他选择波士顿大学法学院是因为它的地理位置和教职员工的声誉。 In his first year at BU Law, he participated in a spring break 公益性服务 trip to Oklahoma City to work with Oklahoma Indian Legal Services. “It was a fun and fulfilling experience that allowed me to see a different part of the country while learning about [American] Indian law, and working with my classmates,” he says. Logan was also an active member of the 学生会协会 as well as the 公益法杂志 during his second and third years.

In addition to his studies, he participated in the 民事诉讼诊所 during his final year at BU Law to gain hands-on experience and work with Greater Boston Legal Services assisting vulnerable and underserved populations in Boston. “Working with Clinical Associate Professor 拿俄米曼 in the Housing, Employment, Family, and Disability section of the clinic was the single most rewarding experience I had during law school, as I was able to represent clients in administrative hearings and in housing court,” he says.

在参加诊所期间，洛根处理了一个著名的住房案件，在这个案件中，客户在与房东的关系恶化后，因不付房租而面临被驱逐的危险。 洛根和他的团队收集了必要的证据，对驱逐提出反诉，并最终与房东达成和解。 “As difficult and exhausting as that case was, I found it to be the most informative and rewarding experience from law school,” he says. “I was forced to use all of the knowledge and skills I had acquired, and the process and final result meant so much to my clients.”

Logan’s experience in the clinic led him to his current position as an attorney at Sanghavi Law Office. In his final year at BU Law, Professor Mann learned about the position through her connection with the Brookline firm’s owner, Elizabeth Sanghavi, and offered to recommend him for the position. Despite his limited exposure to higher education laws, Logan was drawn to the position because of his broad interest in civil rights issues, and because of the opportunity to learn about the day-to-day operations of a small business.

在他目前的职位上，Logan担任第九条调查的联合调查员。 他会见当事人和证人，并参与撰写最终调查报告的过程。 The position required Logan to learn about the substantive law surrounding Title IX investigations, and to adapt his writing to the investigative format of the firm’s final reports. “The most rewarding parts of my job has been working with my coworkers, who bring a wealth of experience and passion into the office,” he says. “I look forward to our team meetings when we can discuss our current cases and trade ideas about how to approach particular scenarios or reports as these conversations are the most effective tools I have to improve my understanding and eventual work product.”

除了《教育法第九条》的调查外，桑哈维律师事务所还为高中和大学处理民权调查。 “As the body of law and guidance relating to civil rights in education has expanded, these have become prominent issues for many schools and so our firm also offers proactive solutions, such as audits of policies and procedures, and training sessions for responsible school personnel,” says Logan.

With his experience working in the 民事诉讼诊所 one of the most transformative experiences of his BU Law career, Logan’s number one piece of advice for students is to participate in a clinic. “BU Law’s clinics offer an unparalleled opportunity to get real experience interacting with clients, thinking analytically about real world issues, and planning, organizing, and executing a plan for a particular case,” he states. “The skills you learn in a clinic are completely transferable between substantive areas and are the best way to become a better lawyer during law school.”

他补充说，在这个法律市场上，灵活和保持开放的心态也是有利的，因为这也是他获得目前职位的原因。 “I never would have predicted that I would end up working for a small firm on Title IX investigations,” he says, “but I am relishing the experience as I expand my base of knowledge and discover career opportunities that I had not previously considered.”
