I am currently a 2L in the evening program. I am an Illinois native. I have a BA in Secondary English Education from DePaul University. I am currently employed full-time by the Policemen’s Annuity and Benefit Fund, City of Chicago where I assist the Executive Director and, as one of my functions, I assist Board counsel with police officer disability claims. I have an additional four years experience as a paralegal in the workers’ compensation, personal injury and medical malpractice areas of law.

Jason Emery, 3L Rep
jemery@kentlaw.edu
I'm a 3L in the Evening Program & I work at Mayer Brown LLP during the day, managing their legal records software. My undergrad was at a tiny school called St. John's, in Annapolis, MD, where I majored in Philosophy & History of Math. After a few years of working at Mayer, I decided to go to law school & it's been a good time so far. In my "spare time", I like to read, watch TV, putter around online & get new bruises studying Hapkido, a Korean martial art.
