Part-Time Evening Program at Fordham Law

Megan McWaters ’25 had already established an exciting career before deciding to pursue her J.D. degree at Fordham Law, and its evening program allowed her to do that. Prior to law school, she spent nearly a decade as a stand-up comedy agent and has pivoted her role in entertainment to the legal side.

“I chose Fordham Law because of the stellar reputation of the evening program. Evening students make the Law School a better place. I feel very proud to have been part of a community of such hard-working and determined people,” says McWaters.

During law school, she was an active member of the evening student community and served as a Professionalism Fellow for House 9, the section of first-year evening students. “I have loved getting to know the 1LEs and seeing them through a full year of law school,” says McWaters. “Planning professional and social events for them, leading orientation sessions, and generally serving as a sounding board, has been so rewarding.”

One of McWaters’ favorite memories at Fordham Law was competing as a member of the Brendan Moore Trial Advocacy Center—a formative experience that sharpened her courtroom skills and deepened her passion for advocacy. “Whether it was witnessing at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, attending bar nights, or the Alumni Dinner, I always had so much fun with the Moores—they are the friendliest faces and best advocates on campus!”
