Jannelle, a Miami native, earned her B.S. in Criminology and Criminal Justice from Florida State University and is now a 1L at LMU Law.

She serves as a social media ambassador and 1L Liaison for the Hispanic Law Society, is a member of several other student organizations including Immigration, Women of Law, Sports and Entertainment Legal, and Christian Law Societies, and hopes to join Mock Trial, SBA, and Law Review later in the year. Outside of law school, she loves playing pickleball, exploring Knoxville, going to church, and spending time with friends.
Leonard S., from Antioch, Tennessee, earned his degree in Political Science from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and is now a 1L at LMU Law. Interested in criminal law and civil litigation, Leonard hopes to use his law degree to serve others. Leonard is preparing to run for a Student Bar Association Senator position and plans to participate in the Hispanic Law Association, Black Law Association, and other organizations as his 1L year continues. Outside of law school, he enjoys basketball, powerlifting, reading, all things Star Wars, Marvel, and DC, and watching movies. His advice for prospective students is to stay organized, embrace consistent study habits early, build a strong support network, and never hesitate to ask professors for help. His favorite spot in Knoxville is Petland, where he enjoys playing with the puppies, and a fun fact about him is that he passionately sings every Disney song, especially the duets.
