Parker Ibrahim Gives Back to Seton Hall Law Students                    During COVID-19

Parker Ibrahim & Berg in Somerset has donated office resources to assist Seton Hall University School of Law students preparing for remote exams during COVID-19. Many law students do not own printers, instead relying on law school resources. In response, the school agreed to refund students up to $40 each for printing costs, which still means that they need to find a place to print their materials in person. Parker Ibrahim partner Sanjay Ibrahim "called with a much simpler solution," according to law school dean Kathleen M. Boozang. "Students can combine their outlines into a single document, upload them to a [Parker Ibrahim] site, and receive their printed materials within 24 hours by FedEx. This offer, which was extended to the entire student body, produced the first request for a 100-page Property course outline within a day. PIB's gift is creative and solves a need that was producing out-sized anxiety among students." She said the firm "has demonstrated to our students how alumni can meaningfully give back to Seton Hall Law," adding that the "creative gift to students will resonate with them for years to come." Ibrahim said in a statement: "As a business, we not only felt this was the right thing to do, but we are well-positioned to temper trepidations surrounding the process. We have all had to learn to adapt under the circumstances. Thankfully, PIB has been able to do some of the adapting for students."
