Yale 9/11 Clinic: Litigation focusing on civil liberties after 9/11. I participated in this clinic in 2008-2009.
Click here to see the cases I worked on:

Yale Education Adequacy Project: In the fall of 2009 I will work on a class action in which parents and children of Connecticut schools, including the New London School District where my children attend school, allege that the State is failing to fulfill its state constitutional duty to provide “suitable and substantially equal educational opportunities.”

I was a Summer Associate at Goodwin Procter in Boston. I researched corporate dissolution under Delaware General Corporate Law; assisted in the acquisition of distressed Massachusetts bank by another bank; aided a tech company's launch in China and India; and wrote legal memos for litigants in contract disputes and commercial torts.

Yale Cambodia Project: A team of students work together to write bench memoranda for the Supreme Court of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia. I co-directed this project in the spring of 2008 with Director Kathleen Cluassen and fellow Co-Director Sadie Blanchard.

The Cambodian Government and the United Nations founded the ECCC as a hybrid tribunal. It includes international as well as Cambodian judges, trying those accused of crimes committed by the Khmer Rouge from 1975-1979. The tribunal applies Cambodian and international law in procedures that borrow from the accusatorial Anglo-American justice system as well as the inquisitorial Roman-law tradition..
