Before joining TIP, Emily was an associate at Bird Marella and Irell & Manella and a law clerk to Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Her pro bono practice included impact litigation involving Measure ULA and civil rights amicus work addressing immigration enforcement, access to the courts, and housing rights. Emily previously worked as a full-time student attorney at the MacArthur Justice Center, litigating cases involving prisoners’ rights, policing, wrongful convictions, and pretrial detention.

Outside the office, you can find Emily picking up books from the Los Angeles Public Library faster than she can make her way through her to-be-read stack, baking challah, or convincing friends to play her in a card game.
