Gabriel Kuris, Top Law Coach
I’ve helped nearly a thousand law school applicants pursue their dreams as a top-rated law school admissions consultant and author of U.S. News’ Law Admissions Lowdown.
I first helped applicants with LSAT prep and admissions essays as a Yale graduate working for JDMission, Powerscore, and EssayEdge. After graduating Harvard Law, I practiced global finance law at Orrick in New York and then worked as a writer and legal scholar at the World Bank, Columbia Law School, Princeton University, and the ABA. I also taught at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and researched law and policy reforms in more than 20 countries, from Cambodia to Kosovo to Nigeria. My writing has earned a Fulbright Fellowship and appeared in the New Yorker, the Harvard Review, Policy and Society, and ForeignPolicy.com.
Since 2019, I’ve worked full-time as the Top Law Coach. I believe that working solo best serves my clients, but I do share my office with a strong-willed German Shepherd, the Top Paw Coach.
Advocacy skills honed in the fight for human rights
A JD is a hard-earned honor, and today’s challenges demand a new generation of relentless lawyers. I feel grateful for each client I have cheered across the finish line to join me in advancing the rule of law.
As a Harvard Law student in 2005, I helped Cambodians establish the Khmer Rouge Tribunal. I returned in 2008 as a Fulbright Fellow to document Cambodia’s stuggle for justice.
In 2011, I volunteered with the Solomon Islands Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate and report on war crimes. Even when victims of abuse cannot get the justice they deserve, they can use help lifting their voice.
I have presented my research on strengthening anti-corruption agencies from Washington to London to Johannesburg. In 2016, I spoke to the Latvian Cabinet about fighting organized crime.
