Meet the Class
Every year, we celebrate the addition of a new class of students with diverse talents, backgrounds, and interests.
We asked 10 members of the Class of 2029 to share their perspectives. Their responses appear below.
The newest cohort of international students joins the Law School from 26 different countries around the globe
“Working with nonprofit leaders, I’ve felt inspired by their love for and connection with the communities they serve. I hope to achieve that level of that dedication in my career as a lawyer.”
“I want to better understand how disparate legal systems can work together to advance global justice and international cooperation in tandem.”
“Whether as prosecution or defense counsel, I look forward to helping to create an equitable justice system for Marines and ensuring they are treated fairly under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”
“I aspire to make my communities safer, whether by securing people’s rights via civil litigation or securing criminal convictions at the federal level."
“My goal as an attorney would be to have a career where, even on the longest, most stressful, or all-around bad days, I can still feel proud knowing that my work is contributing to a greater good.”
