Our team at MyLLife is excited to introduce one of our 2024 MyLLife Scholars Cohort members, Abbas Chaudhry!
My name is Abbas Chaudhry, and I am a rising 3L at Seton Hall University School of Law with a strong interest in public service. My volunteer and work experience before law school drew me to seek public sector legal experience. Throughout law school, I have held internships in public service, primarily through judicial internships but also in enforcement agencies. This summer, I am interning at the New Jersey Attorney General's Office in the Office of Public Integrity and Accountability. At Seton Hall Law, I am currently the Secretary for both the Health Law Forum and the Criminal Law Society. I hope to begin my career prosecuting healthcare fraud.
I applied for the MyLLife scholarship because I appreciate MyLLife’s mission and efforts to encourage deep learning of faith through discussions and propel leaders engaged in the community at all levels. I believe MyLLife is creating a sustainable pipeline of leaders who can devote time to experiences and fields we are often underrepresented in due to financial and network barriers. The mentorship I have received from former cohorts exemplifies the long-term goals of this program which I hope to contribute and be part of moving forward. I am fortunate and grateful for the MyLLife scholarship because it reduces the burden of participating in an unpaid internship and allows me to commit more time to not only improving my substantive skills during my experience but also meeting other mentors and leaders in the field to teach me so that I can pass on what I learn to members of past, present, and future MyLLife cohorts.
