Meet Stephanie:
Hi, I’m Stephanie! Starting my law school journey, I had no idea how to navigate through the application process or what to expect from my first year. Now as a student, I can definitely attest that with the commitment and genuine support of professors, counselors, and the overall UC Irvine community, students can find success even if the beginning has so many unknowns!
When choosing a law school, I knew I wanted my legal education to involve valuable hands-on learning experiences. I am incredibly grateful to be participating in these opportunities now through my pro bono project with the OC Clean Slate Expungement Clinic. I truly believe choosing UC Irvine Law was the best decision I could have made!
As a first-generation student, I know firsthand how overwhelming and nerve-wracking the application process, deciding, and ultimately beginning law school can be, but I would love to offer any help or guidance I can!
