Laura Hodes
I am a writer and have a law degree from the University of Chicago. My writing has been published in The Forward, The New Republic (online), Slate, Findlaw.com, and the Chicago Tribune. At Yale I wrote a biweekly column for two years for the Yale Daily News called "Personal is Political" and was the editor-in-chief of the Yale Daily News Magazine. I graduated with distinction in my major of English Language and Literature and Phi Beta Kappa. Upon graduation I won an award for the best article published with a campus publication. I clerked for two years for a federal judge in Chicago.
