John Russell Email & Phone Number

While at Rutgers Law School, I worked in a variety of legal capacities. I interned for the District Attorney of Philadelphia and the City of Philadelphia Law Department Child Welfare Unit. I also completed an externship for the Office of General Counsel at Rowan University. These internships helped me develop my legal skills. After graduating law school in 2022, I worked as a law clerk for an Assignment Judge in the New Jersey Judiciary for the 2022-23 judicial term. I am currently a law clerk in the New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division. Everyday presents unique opportunities to further develop my interpersonal communication as well as legal research, drafting, and legal writing. I have beneffited from my courtroom exposure and judicial insight, which gives me an easy transition to a first-year associate role. My clerkships have strengthened my ability to approach a wide range of topics and issues and draw legal conclusions based off my findings through extensive research and communication with other legal professionals. I approach situations with an open mind, positivity, motivation, and determination, and I am confident I will make a positive contribution wherever I might land as an associate.
