Description
"...to me, being a citizen lawyer means being a leader in your life in all aspects, not just in your job 9 to 5, but in your community. And so working on real world projects that made a difference policy-wise was a great way to live out that aspiration to be a citizen lawyer." -- Elizabeth Andrews
