UMASS LAW — After spending her first year of law school remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Janay Davidson, JD candidate ’23 made sure to take advantage of the many opportunities offered at UMass Law as soon as she arrived on campus as a 2L. She serves as a Public Interest Law Fellow (PILF), participated in the Immigration Law Clinic, and interned at the Rhode Island Public Defender’s Office. Recently, Davidson and her UMass Law team advanced to the final round of the ABA’s client counseling competition. She credits UMass Law for preparing her for her new position at the Legal Aid Society in New York City, where she’ll begin work after graduation as a public defender in one of the city’s boroughs.
