Reflection:"I came to law school particularly to help the people who are most vulnerable in the community. Public interest law is a way to reach out into the community and help people who could not otherwise afford legal representation. As lawyers we have a foundational responsibility to represent the bar in a professional and ethical manner, but we also have the opportunity and I think the obligation to address the legal needs of those less privileged in our communities."
