Circuit and the International Court of Trade. She spent her final year working at William and Mary Law School’s Immigration clinic, where she assisted an Afghan family attempting to secure permanent residency. While in law school, Abi spent a semester working as a legal extern for the firm, where she contributed to several cases that were pending at that time.
