There are so many constructs of law school that weigh on students’ mental health. That is why Johnnie Nguyen and his fellow council members at the ABA voted unanimously to make mental health their primary policy issue for the 2019-20 year. Johnnie is the first Coloradan elected chair of the American Bar Association’s Law Student Council where he represents the interests of more than 120,000 law students from the nation’s 204 ABA-accredited law schools. Johnnie and Kevin discuss the value of the ABA’s Young Lawyer Division, how to navigate law school while connecting with mentors and juggling responsibilities, and what it is like to be a first-generation law student at the University of Colorado Law School (’21).
