UCI Law #AskAnAlum: Hollie Washington '16
Meet Hollie Washington '16, associate at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP. She shares her answers to a few frequently asked questions from prospective students as part of our #AskAnAlum series.
What activities/organizations were you involved in at UCI Law?
Black Law Student Association; Saturday Academy of Law; Women’s Law Society; UCDC; POP program
What was your favorite class at UCI Law and why?
My UCDC externship because each week we discussed a different topic (usually dealing with policy) and I was able to get hands on experience (i.e., work) 40 hours per week.
What was the most surprising thing about UCI Law?
My fellow classmates noticed I had missed quite of bit of class (I got sick within the first month of law school and had four surgeries that first semester) and reached out to me not asking where are you, what’s going on, but simply well wishes and their notes from class.
