What have you been up to after taking the Bar?

After getting some much-needed rest and relaxation, I started working at Holley Driggs in Las Vegas in September as a transactional associate. I work primarily on real estate contracts, entity formation, secured transactions, and some corporate law. It has been an incredibly challenging and rewarding experience, and I am grateful to be surrounded by such a talented and supportive group of colleagues.

I enjoy spending time outdoors with my wife Felicia and our poodle Zai Zai. During the summer, we go hiking

Tell us about a program or accomplishment that you consider your greatest personal or professional success since beginning your career? 

I am a co-chair of the Pro Bono Committee of the American Bankruptcy Institute Task Force on Veterans and Servicemembers Affairs and am a Member of two other Committees on the Task Force. In working with my colleagues on the Pro Bono Committee, we have initiated the creation of a national clearinghouse listing organizations that provide pro bono legal services to military service members and/or veterans. Earlier this year we launched the Clearinghouse (http

Boyd alumnus Colin Seale, Founder and CEO of thinkLaw and best-selling author of Thinking Like a Lawyer: A Framework to Teaching Critical Thinking to All Students, won the coveted top spot and $20,000 prize money in the Echoing Green and Barclays’ third annual Social Innovation Challenge. The virtual pitch competition convened founders of U.S.-based social enterprises working in health, economic development and education. These social innovators of color discussed how their work addresses the systems changes needed to reimagine an equitable post-COVID-19 future for their communities—many of

What do you enjoy in your off hours?  

What off hours? I’m kidding. When I’m not working, teaching, or doing work for the Board I sit on, or other miscellaneous items, I love to read both fiction and non-fiction books (I usually have about ten books going at a time), and I’ve taken up walking the trail around Lone Mountain several times a week – I put a cheesy podcast on and get to decompress for 45 minutes, and it’s the best! I also of course love to shop and spend time with friends (safely of course!).

How did you get into the gaming industry?  

Not all attorneys have law practices, as

Where do you see yourself in ten years? 

In order for me to discuss the future, I must discuss the past. 

Ten years ago, I decided to make politics and legislation a priority in my life. This began for me when I volunteered at Planned Parenthood. I canvassed, taught other teens how to drive effective campaigns, and lobbied legislators in DC and Carson City. This grass roots volunteering gave me a perspective from the bottom up.

In college, I interned in Washington D.C. for Congresswoman Dina Titus where I shadowed the Congresswoman, spoke with constituents, and attended congressional

What brought you to Las Vegas?  

Caesars Palace. My dad was hired by Caesars Palace, so my family left the land of Disney World and moved to Las Vegas in 1990.
 
What community nonprofits might you be associated with? 

I am involved with the Las Vegas Business Academy. My dad started the organization and I have sat on the board since its commencement. LVBA provides scholarships and mentorship to post-graduate students. LVBA is building the future leaders of Las Vegas. It has been rewarding for me to see Boyd students participate in this program.

Tell us about life after law school. 

After graduating from Boyd, I clerked in business court for Judge Nancy Allf of Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District Court. In that role, I drafted bench memoranda and decisions on a variety of specialized business and civil matters, including business ownership disputes and cases filed by shareholders against companies. After my clerkship, I joined Kaempfer Crowell’s Las Vegas office as an associate in the firm’s litigation practice group. Kaempfer Crowell is recognized as one of Nevada’s top law firms for land use and zoning, government affairs, and

Honor College Alumnus of the Year Sagar Raich knew for certain he was headed for a legal career after minoring in business law while pursuing his undergraduate degree at UNLV. But his passion for the law — and, specifically, his desire to help those who can’t navigate our justice system themselves — took root years earlier.

What's it like working as an immigration lawyer at the Thomas & Mack Legal Clinic?

I graduated from Boyd last year and started my fellowship at the UNLV Immigration Clinic last November. So, in a way, I'm still technically in law school even though I'm an attorney now. As head of the University Legal Services program, my duties involve conducting campus and community outreach and providing legal representation to UNLV and CSN students, staff, and their family members. I enjoy working at the Clinic, but being an immigration lawyer has its ups and downs. As an attorney, it's my job to fight for
