Leila Bijan

Leila is a trilingual student who is interested in the legal profession. She is currently involved in a program called Justice Corps that has given her invaluable experience working with self-represented litigants – those who are unable to afford an attorney. “Through this experience,” she says, “I have come to realize how important public service is in the legal profession.” As a result, she has completed 300 hours of community service and, alongside her undergraduate studies, is currently pursuing a Paralegal Certificate at UC San Diego Extension. For the fall term, Leila is studying under an internship in Washington DC.
