James Quillinan, ’74

Lawyer, Hopkins & Carley

Between the full-time practice of law, golf, and writing movie reviews for his own movie review Web site (sign up at www.qsreviews.com), James V. Quillinan ’74 makes sure he has time for his two protégés.

Quillinan became involved in the mentor program two years ago, when he responded to an e-mail invitation. Since then, he has mentored five students. This year he was matched with Jennifer Cullen ’06 and Jennifer Poon ’06, both of whom are interested in his specialty, estate planning. Lucky for them, they were paired with a mentor who not only has nearly 30 years experience in this field, but a passion for it as well. “I love what I do,” he says.

Typically, says Quillinan, the students have “tons of questions, not only about law school but about the practice of law.”
