Main goal in teaching: My main goal is to teach non lawyers how to navigate the law - by reading the law, writing legal documents and advocating new laws or changes in the law - from their desk, as part of a grassroots organization or formally through passage of laws at the state or federal levels.
What inspires me about teaching: What excites me most about teaching in this
program is that I witness transformation from student to polished paraprofessional time and time again.
