“I cannot speak more highly of the work Jillian did as an associate producer at Golf Channel. From setting a professional, positive tone for the production assistants she led to delivering innovative ideas under long overnight deadlines, she elevated everyone around her. Nobody created better opening teases—smart, high-energy, and precise—using highlights, sound, and music to set the tone not just for segments, but for entire shows. From the smallest details to the biggest projects, Jillian owned her work with full accountability and a fantastic attitude. A true five-tool player.”
Professor Amy C. Lutz
Syracuse University
“Jillian is an exceptional researcher, leader, and public servant. Her original research on homelessness and dual diagnosis involved extensive field interviews and demonstrated both intellectual rigor and deep empathy, earning top marks for its quality and insight. She pairs academic excellence with sustained civic engagement. Jillian is bright, disciplined, and driven by impact, with a clear commitment to serving marginalized communities.”
Professor David L. Franklin
DePaul University College of Law
“I had the pleasure of teaching Jillian Lynch in First Amendment, where she earned the CALI Award for the highest grade in the class. Her work in Constitutional law was consistently exceptional—precise, analytically rigorous, and deeply thoughtful. Jillian has a rare ability to synthesize complex doctrine and apply it with clarity and originality. She is intellectually curious, disciplined, and a standout presence in the classroom. I recommend her without reservation.”

“Of the hundreds of student leaders I supported nationally, working with Jillian was the highlight of my career. Before she even began her freshman year, she initiated and successfully fought for the creation of OttoTHON—overcoming an initial university denial, leading a campus-wide appeals process, and building a sustainable, inclusive leadership structure from scratch. With limited institutional support and no budget, she mobilized students, community leaders, and hospital partners to launch an event that raised $84,013 in just four months, broke national first-year records, and became Syracuse University’s largest philanthropy.”
“Jillian brings uncommon resolve, integrity, and strategic vision to everything she does, and she motivates those around her to rise with her. She will make the legal profession more equitable, service-oriented, and humane.”
