I am a fourth year Justice Studies major with a minor in Communications. I work in the School of Sustainability and I plan to go to law school for Environmental Law or Natural Resource Law. I plan to take the LSAT in September and most likely go to law school in the Fall of 2010. I have also been looking into programs to teach English in Spain for a year after college, but I have not decided yet. This summer I interned at an environmental consulting firm in Los Angeles. It was a non-profit called Tech Go Green, we provided businesses audits and made recommendation in order to be a more sustainable building, save money, and also be more environmentally friendly. Before my internship was over they were also in the process of applying for grants and working on educational workshops. I am also involved in my sorority where I have held many leadership positions. I was the Recruitment Assistant for one year and have served on the Judicial Board for three consecutive years. It is basically a trial for those members who have broken some rule, so it is a mini-trial. Ideally, I want to work in an environmental law firm but I also want to do work with foreign countries. South America is of high interest to me because of all their legal issues; indigenous people rights, oil, and corrupt governments. I believe my main goal is to someday work for the United Nations or Amnesty International. I am also very in independent media sources, I enjoy reading stories not in mainstream media. I believe their views and stories are not biased and influenced by corporate rule. Overall, I am interested in the legal aspects of the environment.

  1. Welcome to the class!
    Good luck on the LSAT. I continue to be amazed that law schools still require this exam. So many studies have found that the scores have little to do with predicating success in law school. There is a movement among law professors to eliminate the exam but without much success to date. I believe the exam makes the admission process less difficult by adopting the SAT as a standard way of eliminating applications.
    I hope you share news stories from independent media. I try to read them when I have time but find it more difficult as the semester starts.
    Look forward to reading your blogs.
