Micah’s Law School Qualifications

Welcome to my profile! I am currently a third year student at Harvard Law School, where I have interned for a variety of civil rights legal nonprofits and worked extensively with clients facing criminal charges. I was admitted to Harvard through the Junior Deferral Program in 2018, ultimately deferring my admission for four years to work as a paralegal and policy associate in Atlanta, GA. I have extensive experience writing and editing. I've written professionally, publishing in outlets including New York Magazine, MSNBC, and Teen Vogue. During my first year in law school, I won the award for Best Brief in my Legal Research and Writing class, and next year, I will be clerking for a federal district court judge -- a prestigious position in the federal courts. Finally, I am the co-editor of a book about an activist movement in Atlanta, through which I edited over thirty contributors' essays. All this to say -- I love editing other people's work and drawing out their passions! I'm especially passionate about working with students and applicants, and especially love editing personal statements and other application materials. Everyone has a story, and the key is telling it in a compelling way that paints a picture of why you belong in law school! I hope I can help you do so!
