We are delighted to introduce our 2017 summer intern, Jackie Rogers.

Jackie is a rising senior in the Honors College at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon. She is majoring in Political Science and Economics; serves as VP of the Young Democrats Club; and represented the state of Oregon in College Debate 2016. Last summer, Jackie interned at the U.S. Senate for Senator Ron Wyden.

She’s also interested in the legal system and how it can improve. At a recent conference, Jackie presented on inclusivity in Supreme Court decisions, focusing on cases that changed social, legal, and political status quo. And this fall she’ll take the LSAT and apply to law school.

Interning with us is another outgrowth of her interests in activism and the law. “Washington Council of Lawyers provides everything I wanted in a summer internship,” said Jackie. “The organization works to ensure everyone, regardless of income, has access to our justice system. I look forward to learning about the legal profession and public-interest law.”

We’re thrilled to welcome Jackie back to Washington, DC and to work with her this summer. And we can’t wait to see what she does with her legal career!
