Jackson Novacek - Dean's Fellows
2L, Olathe, Kansas | Emporia State University
Jackson is a 2L at KU Law from Olathe, Kansas. He earned both his bachelor’s degree and MBA from Emporia State University, where he also played wide receiver on the football team. At KU, he’s a Dean’s Fellow and serves as Secretary of the Sports Law Society. Jackson enjoys being part of the KU Law community and getting to know students across different classes.
Outside of school, he likes golfing, playing pickup basketball, and spending time with friends. He’s interested in litigation and business law but is still figuring out where he wants to end up. His advice to 1Ls is to stay consistent, lean on your people, and find a routine that works for you.
“Law school is going to feel overwhelming sometimes, but the best thing you can do is figure out a routine that works for you early and stick to it. Don’t worry about doing it like everyone else — just stay steady and remember what brought you here, because that’s what’ll keep you going.”
