STUDENT AND ALUMNI PROFILES

Professional experience prior to Law School:

Technology Advisor to Shorewood Realtors in Manhattan Beach, CA for about one year.

What I Am Hoping to Do With My Law Degree:

Ultimately, I'm not 100% certain. I am interested in international policy and diplomacy. I will, however, almost certainly enter the practice as an attorney.

My Best Experience at Penn Law:

After having lunch with one of my professors and one of my classmates, I was hit by the feeling that I know that choosing to come to Penn was definitely the right decision.

Professor Who Influenced Me Most:

Professor Jacques deLisle has inspired me to see just how ridiculous the law can be, and that no matter how much we try and justify the way it works, there is always another way to see it.

My Favorite Course:

Legal writing. I enjoy the challenge of finding the information I'll need and then using that information to write a persuasive argument for my "client." It's practical and the work is generally interesting.

Penn Law is known for its collegial environment. Why is collegiality important to a legal education? How has it affected your legal education?

I've had friends at other law schools tell me about "friends" who intentionally sabotage each other by giving misleading information in study groups. At Penn, I can be certain that the people I see everyday are interested in learning and sharing knowledge. The collegial atmosphere means I'm working with my colleagues, not against them.

My Extracurricular Activities at Penn Law:

Federalist Society
Environmental Law Project
East Asia Law Review
Penn Law Bowling League
Jewish Law Students Association
