Who’s coming to law school, and why? Welcome back to our series meeting incoming Berkeley Law students! Our incoming class comes from all walks of life and all corners of the world, including Kamryn Yanchick from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Kamryn is a citizen of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma and was a political navigator at the Native Action Network. Over the summer, Kamryn completed the American Indian Law Center’s Pre-Law Summer Institute, where she won “Best Overall Student.” Q: Why law school? Why now? A: I’m very much interested in Federal Indian law, especially the intersection with voting rights and election law and trying to make sure that Native people have a seat at all tables where decisions are being made. I consider myself a life-long learner and I always get excited being in environments that foster that creativity and knowledge sharing, not only with the professors and professionals, but also my peers. Q: Why Berkeley Law? A: I really appreciated Berkeley’s emphasis on public service and public interest law. Also the native student community - shout out to Berkeley’s NALSA @nalsaucb for winning chapter of the year. And also the collaborative environment that fosters community over competition. #BerkeleyLaw #LawSchool #LawStudent

Why do we have persistent environmental harms in our most disadvantaged communities when we have many laws, policies, and regulations designed to advance environmental justice? That question is at the center of JD/PhD student Zoe Lee-Park’s research, which explores environmental justice, reproductive justice. Her work examines a deeper question: “How are we reproducing earlier logics of eugenics in the 21st century?” For Lee-Park, those questions ultimately reflect upon the limits of the law, as well as the possibilities for what the law could still become. “How can we craft and implement laws, policies, and regulations that lead to more just outcomes? That possibility fascinates me.” #BerkeleyLaw
