Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
It’s
really
all
about
putting
in
the
work.
I
think
it’s
so
important.
With
enough
hard
work
and
perseverance,
you
can
accomplish
pretty
much
anything.
— Jimmy
Chilimigras,
a
recent
summa
cum
laude
graduate
of
Loyola
University
New
Orleans
College
of
Law,
in
comments
given
to
CBS
affiliate WWL-TV,
concerning
the
conclusion
of
his
law
school
journey
at
just
18
years
old.
He
is
the
first
to
ever
graduate
from
Loyola
Law
with
five
certificates
of
concentration
(taxation
law,
social
justice,
immigration
and
citizenship
law,
international
legal
studies,
and
technology
and
entrepreneurship).
Chilimigras
is
one
of
the
youngest
people
in
the
country
to
ever
graduate
from
law
school.
Although
the
Mississippi
native
is
too
young
to
take
the
bar
exam
in
his
home
state,
Chilimigras
will
still
take
the
bar
exam
this
summer,
before
heading
to
Northwestern
Law
to
pursue
an
LLM
in
taxation.
