After I had been accepted into the Global Scholars program, I was excited (and a little anxious) about what my summer would hold.

While in London, I had the privilege of sitting in onContinue reading “COVID’s Impact on Courtroom Inequality”

Transitioning into my position was quite easy due to the supportive team I have here in London.
