Who’s coming to law school, and why? Welcome back to our series meeting incoming Berkeley Law students! Our new class comes from all walks of life and all corners of the world, including Gillian Katsumi from Long Island, NY. Gillian has lived in Washington, DC for the past six years. She has experience in the international humanitarian space, managed various USAID contracts, and worked for an early-stage charity tech startup. Q: Why law school? Why now? A: I’m really interested in the intersection of law & economics. That’s kind of what I studied in undergrad and what I did in my work in international development. I’m really excited to pursue consumer law and maybe even antitrust while I’m here. Q: Why Berkeley Law? A: One of my main reasons for coming to Berkeley is the strong consumer law program. Berkeley also has such a strong emphasis on public service and that’s something I’m really interested in pursuing. So it seemed like a great fit. #BerkeleyLaw #LawSchool #LawStudent
