El Vette Donated

While growing up I came to know there was nothing my dad could not fix. At some point, I noticed my dad, John Jacobi (sometimes known as JJ) strived to do things differently than most.

​Is the Cost of Law School too High for Women?

Fifteen years ago, I graduated from law school in New York, with your typical law school educational debt.  My first job out of school, I earned what seemed like a decent salary but facing educational debts, as well, made it challenging if not impossible to live on my own in New York City.  I found solace in speaking with other young attorneys like myself about how to survive.
