• Organizations: Family Law Society (President), Mediation Pro Bono Project, VITA Pro Bono Project, Women’s Rights Law Reporter (Senior Notes Editor)
• Bio: Hi, my name is Riley Anderson (she/her) and I am a 3L here at Rutgers Law in Camden. Outside of the classroom, I spend my time planning events and fundraisers as the Family Law Society President and overseeing spading as the Senior Notes Editor of the Women’s Rights Law Reporter. My hobbies include hiking, cooking, and traveling. I chose Rutgers Law in Camden because of its proximity to Philadelphia, one of my most favorite places in the world. Additionally, the community aspect of the school is unlike any I had seen at other Law Schools. I was concerned about the isolation law students sometimes feel when going through the process because of how unique law school is. However, Rutgers encourages its students to work collaboratively and to develop strong professional relationships which is something I have personally experienced. I've worked at Camden County Surrogate’s Court and the Children and Family Advocacy Clinic. I've also done Criminal Appellant Defense work.

• Bio: Hi, my name is Taylor and I am a 3L at Rutgers Law School! Although originally from TN, I came to Rutgers because I was able to get in-state tuition during my first semester. Therefore, I knew I could get a quality education for less. My favorite thing about Rutgers is all of the networking opportunities and its location between Philadelphia and New York. My favorite course has been trial advocacy. Throughout college, I interned for a law firm that specialized in estate planning. I also worked as a legal assistant for a personal injury and corporate litigation firm. During my 1L summer, I interned with a judge in the Family Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia. I also interned with the Civil Presiding Judge of Superior Court in Camden, NJ. I currently work for a law firm that specializes in disability law and worker's compensation. I look forward to graduating in the spring of 2021 so that I can begin to make a difference as a practicing attorney once I pass the bar exam. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

• Bio: Hey everyone! My name is Tue Ho (pronounced "Tway"). I was born in Vietnam but immigrated over straight to Philly. I grew up playing curveball, half ball, and all sorts of street hockey here in South Philly. My father was a Buddhist monk and so, in a way, I'm a bit of a preachers' kid. I enjoy reading non-fiction, going on bike rides, and sleeping while trying to meditate. I studied history at Temple, education at Penn, and now am studying Law at Rutgers. Prior to law school, I was a special ed teacher in Kensington, an ESL teacher in Vietnam, and a Disney greeter at Disney World. I'm very concerned about displacement and have been involved in different housing advocacy groups in Philadelphia. My goal is to hold city planners and private developers accountable for creating and maintaining affordable housing. I'm also passionate about educational equity and hope to one day provide legal services to students and their communities. This summer I interned for the ACLU in Pennsylvania.
