Recent LLB graduate Gisoo Akhavan spoke at her graduation ceremony last month, having graduated first in her class. She shared how she had to navigate her studies in law while her home country, Iran, was at war and it became increasingly difficult to communicate with her family.

“I used law as a refuge for myself because whenever I studied law, I wouldn't think of anything else. That focus was my only sanctuary. I turned my pain into purpose. Even though it was painful, I felt privileged to still be able to study.”
