Jennifer Brandt was featured in a Rutgers-New Brunswick School of Arts & Sciences article discussing how her undergraduate experience influenced her legal career. “In political science, and I remember particularly at Rutgers, there were a lot of papers, a lot of writing, and a lot of reading,” said Jennifer. “And those are really important skills that you need in law school. In fact, at Penn I became a writing instructor, and I think that all the writing I did as part of my college days at Rutgers really helped me.”

She also commented on what made her pursue family law. “I like to be involved with people and get to know their stories, so family law seemed a perfect fit, as opposed to other areas of law where you might not have as much interaction with your clients. I also wanted to be in court,” said Jennifer. “I wasn’t somebody who wanted to sit in the office doing research or writing briefs. I wanted to be out there helping people on the front lines.”
