I have authorization from my former clinic supervising attorney to submit this opening brief, sections of which are a sample of my legal writing.

My supervising attorney has authorized the submission of this memo as a sample of my legal and policy research and writing, and I believe it reflects the quality of my work. It has not been substantially edited by anyone else.
