John Lucian ’95
Philosophy
When John Lucian ’95 was once asked to provide emergency pro bono legal assistance to an immigrant seeking asylum in the U.S., he realized it would mean canceling his Fourth of July plans with his young children to travel to the July 5 hearing. Still, John believed this work of mercy was important, and he took the case. Later, he received a prestigious award for his effort.
“It was a unique patriotic and Catholic opportunity at the same time,” says John, a partner at Blank Rome LLP in Philadelphia, one of the 100 largest law firms in the country.
John also says his education at Franciscan University helped to instill the values he puts into practice in his career.
“I reflect often on the value of my Franciscan education and its important role in my success,” he says.
