Suffolk Law appealed to Anusha because of its urban character, diverse enrollment, and relatively small classes. She also had heard that the faculty were highly approachable, which was affirmed upon her matriculation. “I’ve never encountered a faculty member,” Anusha remarks, “who doesn’t want you to succeed in every possible way.” She aims to be a prosecutor in the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office, where she will be interning this upcoming spring semester in the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Unit. Through the First Year Summer Internship Program (FYSIP), Anusha worked for The Honorable Judge Michelle Yee, JD ’01 at the Essex County Family and Probate Court in Salem, MA. Before coming to Suffolk, Anusha had been drawn to family law, so this internship opportunity stood out to her. She points out that family court can be a difficult experience for those involved in the litigation. Cases may entail emotionally charged issues, such as contested divorces, child custody, and child support. Many people involved in the hearings lack legal representation and adequate knowledge of the process, adding an additional burden on the parties.
