Choose one:
* I was a prominent abolitionist, the sixth Chief Justice of the United States, Treasury Secretary, senator from and governor of Ohio; but, please, don’t forget how I got my start: providing free legal services to escaped slaves and people working the underground railroad - a true public defender back in the 1830s.
* I am a third-year law student with the good fortune to have found a calling in public defense. I have worked for public defense offices in California and Oregon, and I hope to follow in the footsteps of the real Salmon P. Chase.
Apart from PD work, I love to play tennis, hike, and play the piano.
