Jacob Kostrzewski. <\/strong>Jacob is the Program Coordinator for the International Rule of Law and Security Program at the Sandra Day O\u2019Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.<\/em><\/p>

Jacob sat down for a discussion with Alexander Mallory, JD \u201919, to hear about his time in the IRLS program last spring, and what he has been doing since graduating.<\/p>

Jacob: You spent the Spring 2019 semester in Washington, D.C. What were some of the highlights of your time in D.C. and the IRLS program?<\/em><\/p>

Alexander: I participated in the Washington, D.C. program in the spring of 2019. \u00a0While there, I studied international criminal courts and international criminal justice. Through this class, I developed a deeper understanding of international law and the unique role the United States has in its formation. I loved working in D.C. It was one of the best experiences I had in law school. From working in a multinational law firm to networking with peers, D.C. offers an excellent avenue for both personal and professional growth. I particularly enjoyed the networking and educational events the IRLS program hosted.<\/p>

J: Where did you extern while in D.C.? What did you work on? <\/em><\/p>

A: I externed at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and worked on litigation in the Native American Law and Public Policy practice group.<\/p>

J: Why did you decide to apply for the Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General\u2019s Honors program?<\/em><\/p>

A: I applied for the DOJ Honors Program because I value public service and believe government can be a force for good. My Choka (“grandfather” in Ho-Chunk) served on our tribal council for over twenty years and taught me that true fulfillment comes from serving a cause greater than yourself.<\/p>

J: How did your time in D.C. help prepare you for the DOJ Honors program?\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>

A: Working at a multinational law firm taught me the importance of candid communication and time management skills.<\/p>

J: What have you been working on as part of the DOJ Honors program? <\/em><\/p>

A: I serve as a Judicial Law Clerk in the Executive Office for Immigration Review. My primary role is to draft court opinions for Immigration Judges in detained and non-detained proceedings. These decisions include issues related to asylum law, adjustment of status, and statutory bars to relief including crimes involving moral turpitude, aggravated felonies, and serious non-political crimes.<\/p>

J: You\u2019re now completing the first year of the two-year program. What are your plans for next year? <\/em><\/p>

A: Once I finish my clerkship through DOJ Honors, I hope to clerk for a federal district court.<\/p>

J: Do you have any tips for students interested in the DOJ Honors program? <\/em><\/p>

A: I would highly recommend any student interested in public service apply to the DOJ Honors program.\u00a0 It\u2019s a terrific program and I am grateful to participate in it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
