About Silvia Kirollos

I am a law student at Southwestern Law School, where I am pursuing my J.D. with an expected graduation in May 2025. I hold a Bachelor\'s degree in Political Science and International/Global Studies from California State University, Long Beach, and completed a semester abroad focused on Refugee Health and Humanitarian Action through the School for International Training. As a recipient of the prestigious Gilman Scholarship and the California ChangeLawyers Scholarship sponsored by WilmerHale, I bring a commitment to public service and a global legal perspective. Recently, I served as a Law Clerk at Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP, where I assisted with business immigration matters, including H-2B visa compliance and PERM filings. Previously, I externed with the Honorable Otis D. Wright II at the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. I conducted legal research, drafted bench memoranda, and observed federal proceedings. I also completed a legal externship at Soliman, Hashish & Partners in Cairo, where I researched international contract enforcement and foreign investment laws. I also worked as a legal secretary in the Litigation Department for the City of Burbank. These experiences have developed my legal research, writing, and cross-border legal analysis skills. Fluent in Arabic, proficient in Spanish, and conversational in French, I bring a diverse and multicultural lens to my legal work. I am passionate about building a career in litigation and transactional law, with a long-term goal of practicing at an internationally recognized firm.
