Previous Legal Associates

Isaac S. | Harvard Law School | Legal Associate

Isaac graduated from Harvard Law School in May 2021 with a J.D. Previously, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from Howard Payne University (HPU) in May 2018 with two degrees: a Bachelors of Arts in Civic Leadership & Public Policy through the Guy D. Newman Honors Academy (a multidisciplinary program focused on leadership, service, good citizenship, legal studies, economics, international affairs/foreign policy, public policy, and philosophy) and a Bachelors of Arts in Social Science with an emphasis on Jurisprudence. He is now an Associate in the litigation & enforcement practice group at Ropes & Gray's Washington, D.C. office.

“I not only found professional development value in getting to coordinate meetings with law firms and legal professionals for the enrichment of these students, but working with The Lex Fellowship was first and foremost an opportunity to pour into the lives of future leaders to help provide valuable mentorship, advice, and encouragement as they make important life decisions about academics and career paths. This was a wonderful opportunity to shape others positively through academic, professional, and relational development, and I am thrilled to have been a part of making that effort a reality.”

Camille Dubois | Legal Associate | Paris, France

“Working with Lex Fellows in Paris was one of the most rewarding professional experiences of my career. Guiding students through real case discussions, firm visits, and French civil law concepts deepened my own perspective and reminded me why I pursued law. The Fellows showed curiosity, professionalism, and an eagerness to learn that made every session meaningful. Lex’s immersive model bridges academic foundations with practical legal exposure in a way that truly prepares future lawyers.”

Alejandro García | Legal Associate | Madrid, Spain

“The energy and dedication Lex Fellows brought to each firm visit and legal discussion was remarkable. In Madrid, they tackled comparative law sessions, participated in mock negotiations, and engaged thoughtfully with practicing attorneys. It was inspiring to see how quickly they grasped complex legal frameworks and applied them with confidence. The Fellowship’s blend of international context and hands-on exposure stands out as an invaluable experience for anyone serious about law.”

Alejandro García, J.D. | Corporate Associate, Madrid International Law Group

Sofia Ricci | Legal Associate | Rome, Italy

“Hosting Lex Fellows in Rome was a pleasure. Their curiosity about Italian civil procedure, EU human rights frameworks, and comparative legal cultures made every workshop and firm rotation dynamic and engaging. They didn’t just observe, they asked incisive questions, challenged assumptions, and demonstrated leadership. I’ve mentored many students over the years, but a Lex group’s blend of professionalism and cultural engagement is truly exceptional.”
