Before that, she spent 10 years as a U.S. Attorney. She earned her J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law and her B.A. from Princeton University.

This week, we were honored to welcome three judges of Florida's First District Court of Appeal back to the FSU College of Law Advocacy Center to hear live oral arguments in our historic courtroom with our students in attendance.
