Hi everyone, I’m Reetu, part of the cursed class of 2020! After the bar, I’ll be clerking for a federal judge in San Antonio. After that, who knows?

I think it’s important for us, particularly as a member of a model minority group, to use whatever leverage we have to hold institutions of power accountable, especially for our black peers. Always remember that, as much as we rely on law schools and legal employers, they wouldn’t exist without us! Our work and our money provides value to these institutions, and we have a right to the equitable treatment of those with less privilege as a result. Use your value to question those with power: what is your law school doing to support black students right now? Does your employer do work that meaningfully contributes to a just society? Change comes not just from individuals, but from power, and our choices and our labor contribute to that power structure.
