NYLS FGP
First Generation Professionals is a student organization at New York Law School Executive Board 2017-2018
President: Maverick James
Vice President: Qualia C.
A First-Generation Professional is someone who is the first in their family to pursue a legal profession, and as such may not know all the inner nuances of the legal community. FGP is a resource for all first generation professionals, helping you bridge that gap by building your network, connecting you to various resources, and teaching you the essentials to get your dream job.
