To wrap up their two-quarter federal litigation course, Lara Hoffman, Lecturer in Law and Senior Staff Attorney for the @ThreeStrikesProject, invited her students over for a backyard BBQ and lawn games.
She states:
“This year’s class was an especially wonderful and supportive ...group, and that spirit carried through the evening — during dinner, each student gave a toast honoring a classmate who had made a meaningful difference in their learning and their broader experience at SLS.”
Additionally we congratulate Lara as she was recently appointed to be a judge on the Santa Clara Superior Court!
