Personal Introduction

-- By SuzanAbebe - 29 Jan 2015

I came to law school because a legal training from Columbia will provide me with mobility in society. I have seen how the power of proper advocacy can completely change lives. As an Ethiopian, there is a severe underrepresentation of people like me in the legal profession. This is particularly troubling in areas like the Washington DC metropolitan where Ethiopians have established ethnic enclaves. There are so many legally related issues that go neglected, ranging from immigration to family violence. As such, the end goal is to open up my own practice and fill the voids.
