Two KU Law graduates are first to complete LEAD program
When Nate Crosser and Samantha Wagner signed up for the LEAD program as 18-year-olds, they were on a fast track to law school. Now, six years later, they are law school graduates and the first two students to complete the program.![Zachary Kelsay shaking hands with student](/sites/college/files/images/2022/Zachary%20Kelsay.jpg)
The right place at the right time
Ever since I was a little kid, I have wanted to be a lawyer. When my mom would read stories to me before bed, I remember there was a book all about people who work (constructions workers, teachers, doctors, etc.). However, like most kids for no rational reason, I only wanted my mom to read one page: the one with the people in suits carrying briefcases and talking to a jury.![Samantha Wagner](/sites/college/files/images/2022/Sam-Wagner.jpg)
