Why FIU Law?

I chose FIU Law because of my strong interest in civil rights and social justice. FIU Law’s Advanced Trial Advocacy Program is among the best programs in the nation. I hope to join the trial team to learn the art of legal storytelling. I would like to acquire this skill to better advocate for underrepresented individuals.

My favorite thing about FIU Law?

My favorite thing about FIU Law is the college’s dedication in ensuring each students’ success. I would like to give a special shoutout to Dean Schulze and Professor Lorenzo for their support throughout my law school journey.

Why FIU Law?

I am a South Florida girl, born and raised, and knew that I wanted to come back home after I finished undergrad to begin my professional career. I didn't always know that I wanted to go to law school, but once I discovered my path, FIU was my immediate first choice. Of course the incredible bar passage rate was a major factor in making my choice, but I was also drawn to the Academic Excellence Program. As a first-generation law student it was nice to know that there were courses that would help teach me "how to do law school."

My favorite thing about FIU Law?

Despite the inherently competitive nature of law school, there is such a great sense of community and camaraderie among the students!
