This semester, Emily is externing at the California Court of Appeal and she loves it! Her favorite thing about Appellate Advocacy is the people.Outside of MCHB, Emily is involved in Law Review. Last summer, Emily worked at the California Department of Justice in their Appeals Writs and Trials Section (Appellate).

Emily’s hometown is Santa Barbara. Emily has her degrees in Economics and International Affairs from Northeastern University. When she’s not externing or at law school, Emily loves attending music festivals, skiing, hiking, going to the beach - pretty much anything outdoors!
