Joe Pollak draws on his admissions experience at Michigan Law and a strategic, strengths-based approach to help clients navigate the law school process with insight, structure, and authenticity.
Joe Pollak is a former admissions officer for the University of Michigan Law School, where his responsibilities included the following, among others.
As a consultant, Joe works with all kinds of clients and has a reputation for giving pragmatic and friendly advice about the admissions process. As a devotee of strengths-based personal and professional development, Joe’s top 5 leadership traits are all in the Strategic Thinking domain, which explains why he enjoys guiding clients through the admissions process so much! Joe also has special insight to offer Jewish clients.
Joe received his B.A. and J.D., both with honors, from the George Washington University. During law school, he worked as a fellow in the writing center and was a member of the George Washington International Law Review where he evaluated articles for publication. At other points in his career, he was an associate attorney with a large law firm in Washington, DC, nonprofit executive director, summer camp director, and editor for job seekers’ cover letters and résumés.
In his free time, he is a fair-weather hiker, so-so bread baker, and novice bike-camper. Joe lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with his wife and two sons.
Joe Pollak is a superb JD admissions consultant, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been connected with him via the awesome team at Spivey. I shopped around with many other consulting firms, but Joe was the only one to quickly understand my own unique background and how to position myself in an authentic, effective way. His extraordinary mentorship and expertise inspired authenticity and excellence in my application — and he was the consummate professional in all of our meetings. Approachable, principled, responsive, and experienced. If you want someone to throw together a generic JD application for you — go somewhere else. If you want to be pushed and encouraged to put together your own, best work — go to Joe. Investing in Joe’s consulting services was the best decision I made in the JD application process, and I believe he played no small part in my admission to Harvard Law School, Yale Law School, and Stanford Law School — among many others. I cannot recommend Joe Pollak highly enough.
