Who's coming to law school this year, and why? Welcome back to our series meeting incoming UC Berkeley Law students! Meet Ellen Huang, an incoming LL.M. student moving to Berkeley from Ottawa, Canada. Q: Can you tell us about your legal background? A: I began my career as Legal Counsel with the Canadian Red Cross Society with a focus in privacy and cybersecurity and became certified as a Data Protection Officer in the humanitarian corporate space. I have since broadened my practice to work in corporate-commercial and technology law, with additional experience in supply chain, procurement, and consumer protection matters at Canadian Tire, a beloved retail and cultural institution for Canadians. Having also worked at the Supreme Court of Canada and in Amsterdam and Paris during law school, and having completed a J.D. and LL.L. in English and French, I enjoy using my bijural and multilingual experiences to approach legal problems with comparative insight and cultural fluency. Q: What do you hope to accomplish as a lawyer? A: My articling principal, Dr. Erica See, has instilled in me the belief that “law is a service”, a principle which continues to guide my professional path. I view the law as a tool to create meaningful progress grounded in responsibility and one of my goals for my career is to advance an innovative and just society by solving complex legal challenges as a subject-matter expert at the nexus of emerging business and technology law. Q: Why UC Berkeley Law? A: I chose Berkeley for its academic excellence and strong research community in my fields of interest. Community service and advocacy are also very important to me and I know Berkeley will support my goals to continue my pro bono work for marginalized communities and mentorship for women and Asian legal professionals. Outside of the law, I find joy in languages, spontaneous adventure, sharing meals, and spending time in nature and this university has so much to offer for all my passions (along with a reprieve from Canadian winters). #UCBerkeleyLaw #Canada #LLM
