In her spare time, she enjoys watching Game of Thrones, playing trivia at Tio’s, and napping whenever possible. A fun fact about herself is that she was recently crowned Miss South Carolina International, which is an international scholarship pageant that promotes community involvment! This means she will be competing in Miss International this upcoming summer.

Dear 1LS,

Right now, you are all probably freaking out about your memos. This is your first graded assignment of law school. Legal

citations may seem tedious, but they can really make or break your grade so don’t wait until the last minute to do them. The memo can

be intimidating, but there are plenty of resources to help you get through this. The Blue Book, WestLaw, and LexisNexis will be your best friends this month. The best piece of advice we can give you is

to take advantage of those resources, and make sure you schedule to meet with your Professors and LRAW tutors.

Here are just a few of the suggestions that we have had that we are currently working on in order to

make the law school as best as it can be!

We need benches in the Hallways! – Adminstration is looking into seating options on the 2nd and 3rd

floor.

We would like vegetarian options in the café – Adminstration is looking into what options can be

made available!

The pricing of parking – Unfortunately, there is nothing the law school can do, but we have given

this issue to our USC Senator to see what they can do.

If you have any other comments, suggestions, or complaints please let us know via the Student Voice

Committee Chair, csiercks@email.sc.edu, or through the suggestion box on our website!
