Meet Kevin, our Student Of the Month

Kevin R. Johnson is a third year law student at The University of Alabama School of Law. He attended the 2007 CLEO’s Attitude is Essential Seminar in Atlanta, GA. He currently serves as National Chair of the ABA Law Student Division.

““One of the keys to navigating a tough job market is resource utilization. CLEO has been the legal mentor that I never had. As a non-traditional student, law school pedagogy was alien to me. I struggled my first year. Thanks to the resources that I had access to through CLEO and the American Bar Association, I was able to survive a very challenging first year and thrive thereafter. I was not afraid to seek help or utilize the resources at my fingertips. I have applied the same philosophy to the job search process. By utilizing the resources provided by both CLEO and the ABA, I have attended seminars, I have received a scholarship, and I obtained my summer job with a federal agency in Washington, D.C. I noticed that not very many students know how to really utilize the resources available to them to achieve their career goals so I ran for National Chair of the ABA Law Student Division with the goal of helping my fellow students take advantage of the vast number of resources available to them. Don’t leave your career options to chance. You have resources available to you. There are no better resources for law students than CLEO and the ABA. Use them!””
