As the youngest in her family, Elizabeth honed her debate and oral argument skills long before entering a courtroom. She has a frank and honest approach to advising and advocating for her clients. These skills combined to help her earn the CALI Excellence Award in Criminal Law and an award for community service during her time at the William S.
