He is a January, 2015 graduate of The John Marshall Law School, where he gained invaluable experience in litigation at both the trial and appellate levels through his success in mock trial and moot court competitions. Besides using his skills to win awards for the law school, Alex also served on the Moot Court Executive Board and as a coach for an intrascholastic mock trial competition for first-year law students.
