Get to know Emily Brown, our 2014 Polikoff-Gautreaux Fellow!

Emily Brown received a JD cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School, where she was Note Editor for the Michigan Journal of Law Reform and Co-Chair of the Poverty Law Society. During law school she worked with Community Legal Services of Philadelphia, the Capital Habeas Unit of the Federal Community Defender Office in Philadelphia, and The AIRE (Advice on Individual Rights in Europe) Centre in London. Emily has a master’s degree in criminology and criminal justice from Oxford University, where she wrote her dissertation on community policing in Chicago. She is a graduate of the University of Chicago (BA with honors in political science), where she completed a fellowship with the Intelligence Project of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Emily says, “I’m thankful for the opportunity to do work that combats poverty and inequality–the issues that prompted me to go to law school–alongside such a dedicated and talented group of people. I have been inspired by BPI’s work in Chicago for years and I could not be more excited to join the team.”

We’re glad that you’ve joined the team, too, Emily, and look forward to all that you’ll accomplish!
