ABOUT JULIAN STEWART
Passionate about law, policy, and civic engagement, I am a trilingual professional with extensive experience in legal research, compliance, and community advocacy. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Political Science (U.S. Politics & Legal Studies) from California State University, Chico, where I led as Director of the Penal Law Project at CLIC, training interns, conducting multi-state legal research, and assisting incarcerated individuals with access to legal resources. In my current role as a Paralegal at The Law Office of Nikki Farris, I support attorneys in bankruptcy, estate planning, and real estate matters. My responsibilities include preparing and filing legal documents, conducting legal research, managing case files, and coordinating client communications. I also assist with tasks related to Ms. Farris’s role as a Chapter 7 Trustee, including document review and case administration. Additionally, I am a commissioned California Notary Public, further enhancing my ability to serve clients and ensure the authenticity of legal documents. My commitment to organization and community support is reflected in my involvement with Community Action Volunteers in Education (CAVE), where I coordinate volunteer efforts, manage data, and ensure program efficiency. Having interned in Washington, D.C, and contributed to voter engagement initiatives, I bring a unique mix of analytical, organizational, and communication skills to every role. I am dedicated to driving meaningful change through legal and policy-driven solutions
