New York Law School

Michelle Kremer grew up on Long Island, graduated from Cornell University in 2011, and is now a law student living in downtown Manhattan and working towards receiving her J.D. in May 2014. She majored in Industrial and Labor Relations in college, with a focus on Organizational Behavior and Negotiation. Her academic interests generally focus on alternative dispute resolution and estate planning, and she is a member of the Dispute Resolution Team. She loves to write almost as much as she loves to read, and spends her spare time during the school year finding cheap concerts and public parks with swing sets. In past summers, Michelle has been a blogger, a bartender, a legal intern, a tutor, and everything in between; this summer, she will work at Merrill Lynch and try to get to the beach and travel whenever possible. 

Michael Forsette is a first-year law student and a native of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Before coming to New York Law School, Michael went to The University of Scranton, where he double majored in Communication and Philosophy. Thanks to his studies as an undergraduate, Michael is interested in intellectual property as well as media and entertainment law. However, he also has an interest in litigation and one day even hopes to serve as a judge. He’s loved the arts, from music to writing and more, ever since he was a kid and has carried that with him to law school, where it helps him unwind when he’s not studying or in in class. For Michael, though, there’s nothing better than hanging out with friends and watching a good movie or exploring what New York City has to offer.
