Thomas Rossidis
Tom Rossidis took a wide approach coming into the law and stayed in close touch with his priorities. Now a second-year transactional associate, he shares the small steps that kept him on track and how they are paying the right dividends.
Becoming a lawyer wasn’t a simple decision for me. In college, I started as an arts and sciences major but found it was too broad and didn’t give me a clear sense of direction. I switched into an industrial and labor relations program, which was described to me as a people-focused major that taught students about workplace issues, including the dispute resolution process – a natural precursor to entering the law. I interviewed for a paralegal opportunity before law school, thinking it would be useful to get law firm experience and perspective. This is advice I would give to any undergraduate considering a career in law.
