Future Law Student
Brea Childs: Brea is a graduate, cum laude, of New York University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in History, with minors in Africana Studies and Spanish. Brea will be attending Boston University School of Law in the fall. A dual citizen of the United States and United Kingdom, Brea was inspired to pursue a career as a lawyer by her Nigerian maternal grandfather, whose law experience allowed him to save the family’s London home from a program of government takings in the 1980s. Currently working for Earthjustice in Los Angeles, Brea works to combat environmental racism by improving the air quality and decreasing pollution in communities of color. Brea plans to use her law degree to address global racial injustices through international human rights law.

Alexis Kallen: Alexis will be attending Yale Law School in the fall. She graduated from Stanford University in 2018, earning a Bachelor of Arts, with distinction, in Political Science with minors in Spanish and Human Rights. This July, Alexis completed an M.Phil. in Development Studies at the University of Oxford with funding from the Rhodes Scholarship, and she received academic honors in her degree program. Born with cerebral palsy, Alexis has overcome years of hardship, including intense economic struggles that led to years of housing insecurity. Despite these obstacles, Alexis excelled in school and experienced firsthand how legal rights and protections can allow people to succeed and flourish. Alexis plans to use her legal education to become an advocate for the marginalized.
All at Fitch Law Partners LLP wish Ms. Childs and Ms. Kallen luck as they embark on their legal educations.
