Since graduation, I spent 4+ years in NYC working in M&A tax, but I moved last year to LA as my wife is pursuing her MBA at UCLA. I also recently transitioned to a new firm, still focused on transaction work but in the mid-market sector, and I've been enjoying that very much and life in SoCal!

Our 50th Reunion is a time when I simply feel grateful for the education I received at GULC. The highlight was the time I spent in the Criminal Justice Clinic in our last year. That inspired me to be a litigator, and I was fortunate to begin my career clerking for Judge Spottswood W. Robinson, III on the U.S Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. I've spent my career in public service, most recently as a judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, since 1988. I've stayed active with Georgetown as a charter member of the Board of Visitors and occasionally making presentations to individual classes and CLE events. Although I technically retired in 2009, I continue to serve the Court as a Senior Judge, in addition to private arbitration and mediation for The McCammon Group and various federal government entities. I grew up in Washington and continue to enjoy my home town. It was a treat to see many classmates at our 45th Reunion, and I hope to see many more for our 50th.

The GULC class of 1974 experienced transformative times during our years in law school in many ways. And we find our world again in transformative times. I look forward to seeing classmates at the fall reunion to share recollections of those times.

Although I retired from teaching law school in 2022 and moved to San Diego, I have remained active in writing, and speaking, and my most recent adventure – making a documentary about high school pathway programs that support diversity in the legal profession and civic leadership. It incorporates the history of Street Law (from 1972 origins at Georgetown), with footage filmed at Georgetown in March. “A Pathway Forward” will premiere in fall 2024, and I hope that it can be shown as part of our class reunion. I was one of the first law students to teach “street law” in 1972, so it was truly a full circle experience to do this film.

Although I now live in California, and it is a long flight, I will be at our reunion. One of the greatest assets of Georgetown Law is the diversity of the student body – including geographic diversity – where we came from and where we went – carrying our Georgetown values with us. I look forward to seeing you in October.

Nowadays, working as Judge in the Southern Island of Chiloe in Chile, I recollect fond memories of those incredible times I had in Georgetown, and all the amazing people I knew and good friends that I left. I'm really thrilled for this opportunity we have to gather once again when we are in a different stage of our lives. Thank you so much Georgetown. See ya!!

I can’t believe it’s been 5 years already! Looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and connecting with new or familiar faces.

Still a bit in denial that it’s been 20 years since we graduated! I live in DC with my husband, Scott, and my two daughters, Lauren (11) and Kate (8). I'm currently a Special Litigation Counsel in DOJ’s Civil Rights Division’s Appellate Section, where I brief and argue appeals of civil rights cases (primarily in the federal courts of appeals but I do some Supreme Court work as well). I’ve been in the Civil Rights Division on and off since 2008, with brief stints clerking on the Third Circuit and working in DOJ’s Office of Legal Policy. I’m also Adjunct Professor at George Washington University Law School, where I coach moot court teams in competitions dealing with civil rights, gender, and sexuality. Can’t wait to see everyone in October!

Many significant events have occurred in my life since 2014. At the time I moved with my wife to DC in 2013 to start my LLM, we had just gotten married, and I had been working at a firm for the previous 3 years. Ten years later, we now have a family of 4 (Aurora, born in 2016; and Andrés, born in 2019), and about 6 months ago I left that same firm to which I already was a partner to, and became general counsel to a top-tier family office in Monterrey, Mexico. It's been quite a ride since graduation, both personally and professionally. I'm really looking forward to going back to DC, where I haven't stepped since 2014, and reuniting with many of my classmates!

After litigating, lobbying, and leading in various positions, I pivoted in 2018 and built a legal tech startup, Justis Connection, which is the first Black attorney referral platform in the country. I was recently named a Top Influential Woman in Legal Tech by the International Legal Technology Association, recognized as a Female Founder in Legal Tech by Law.com and awarded the 2023 Justice Champion by the Maryland State Bar Association. I’m excited to share Justis Connection is expanding to Georgia, New York and Florida this year, but I need your help. Please reach out to me at kisha@justisconnection.com to explore synergies and catch up. Oh and I’m also now mom to a 4 year old who has me learning the true meaning of juggling!

I arrived at Georgetown University at 18. If you had told me that I'd go on to attend the Law Center and meet people who would become friends and then family, I would not have believed you. But here we are, and I am beyond excited to return home for reunion.
