Current lawyer sees law as way to help

UW-Green Bay senior Ngosong Fonkem, 22, has his eye out for the underdog.
      The former men’s soccer team midfielder wants to graduate and become a civil rights attorney. He believes that, too often, society favors the privileged and forgets the poor. He interned at a public defender’s office and observed that wealth can make a difference.
      “That’s really not justice. The same standards should be held across the board for everybody,” Fonkem said.
      Fonkem majors in political science and social change and development. He says he is considering law schools at Penn State, Valparaiso, West Virginia and Indiana.
