Six third-year law students from Florida A&M University (FAMU) College of Law have been accepted into the George C. Young American Inn of Court, a professional organization that promotes mentorship and professionalism in the legal field.
The students—Kaylah Clark, Azadeh “Aza” Sigari Larsen, Jossie B. Louis, Briana Napoleon, Amber Newsome, and Makayla Vaughns—will join judges and experienced attorneys for monthly meetings from September through June. These gatherings focus on ethics, professionalism, and best practices within the legal profession.
Membership in the George C. Young American Inn of Court is by invitation only and includes about 120 to 130 participants each year. Members range from first-year attorneys to senior members of the bar as well as state and federal judges.
Each student brings specific career interests: Kaylah Clark aims to practice education or civil rights law; Azadeh “Aza” Sigari Larsen is interested in family law; Jossie B. Louis plans to pursue litigation; Briana Napoleon focuses on commercial and complex litigation; Amber Newsome wants to work in insurance defense; and Makayla Vaughns seeks a career in criminal law.
“For these future attorneys, acceptance into the Inn represents more than an accolade, it is an opportunity to learn directly from judges and seasoned attorneys while forging relationships that will help shape their careers.”
As they begin this new chapter, FAMU Law students continue the university’s tradition of excellence, service, and leadership within the legal community.
