Name: Brandee McGee

What is your practice area of interest? Public interest (specifically workers, civil, and human rights)

What is a recent academic or personal accomplishment you would like to highlight? My article on abolition was published by the San Diego Law Review last December, and I had the opportunity to discuss my research with the California Reparations Task Force.

What does winning the Stipend mean to you? The financial freedom to focus on bar prep instead of on how I'm going to afford groceries! As a low-income law student who receives public benefits, financial assistance helps to equalize my chances of passing the bar alongside peers with far more resources.

What are your post-bar plans? To work for a national public interest organization but also donate time to legal aid organizations in SoCal

What was your favorite part of Law School? Building PILF into a low-income student support network

Philanthropic Interests (organizations or causes that are important to you): Abolition, bodily autonomy, decolonization, and getting money out of politics.

What is a fun or interesting fact about you that you would like OCWLA members to know? I have a brown belt in judo under Jacob Flores!

Is there anything else you would like the OCWLA Members to know about you? Unconditional financial assistance changes lives! Thank you for all that you do!
