Welcome to Berke-Weiss Law Paralegal Margaret Dongyeon Lee!

When Margaret started with Berke-Weiss Law in February, shortly after graduating from Cornell’s ILR School, none of us expected to be working remotely during a pandemic. We are lucky to have her on board during this tumultuous time.

The ILR School recently highlighted some 2020 graduates, including Margaret, who had the Freshman year assignment to write letters to their future selves. Those letters were re-shared by their Professor at graduation. We are not surprised to learn that even at the beginning of her college career, Margaret valued some of the attributes we see in her now: community, curiosity, and willingness to challenge herself.
