Over 50 Years of Academic Excellence
impact on my career,” Iannucci said. “While I was in law school,
I contacted Tom Paradise ’78 through the Crusaders Online
Network.”
Iannucci also reached out to Steve Mignogna ’82.
“Steve has had an enormous impact on my career. I first spoke
with him as a first year law student and four years later I am still
asking him every question that comes to mind.” For Iannucci, it
is not only that both Paradise and Mignogna are extremely
respected in the legal community as excellent attorneys, but the
fact that they were tremendous people. “Both Steve and Tom
are very busy people, but they always manage to take the time
and get back to me. In my opinion, they truly embody what it
means to be a Eustace grad.”
One theme that was common among these recent law school
graduates was the fact that Bishop Eustace stresses such a sense
of community to its current students, families and alumni.
“I would have to attribute Eustace’s close-knit community
environment and dedicated faculty to providing the atmosphere,
education, and motivation necessary to work toward my goal of
becoming a lawyer,” Shea said.
“The one thing that helped me most was knowing how to reach
out to Eustace alumni in the Rutgers Law School,” Iannucci
said. “Law school is designed to be extremely competitive. I
sought out people, like Ed [Beitz], for help, advice and peace of
mind.”
Finally, it was the impact that the faculty, staff and coaches had
some of the most profound impact on the lives of these young
alums. It was at Bishop Eustace where these attorneys learned
dedication, responsibility and discipline.
“As a student at Eustace, I always felt encouraged, respected and
appreciated. It was not only time inside the classroom that
shaped me into a dedicated and hard-working individual,” Shea
said. “Extra-curricular activities, most especially being a
member of the cross-country and track team led by the late Bob
Kiessling remains one of the most significant experiences I had
while I was at Eustace.”
“If it weren’t for teachers like Brother Jim and Mr. Brady who
emphasized points such as close attention to detail, professional
writing skills and discipline, we would not have been prepared
for the legal world, let alone the real world,” Burger said.
