2022 Judge William M. Marutani Fellows!
Congratulations to the 2022 Marutani Fellows!
APABA-PA and the Philadelphia Bar Foundation are excited to announce this year’s Judge William M. Marutani Fellows, Maya Bradley, University of Pennsylvania Carey School of Law, and Namita Dwarakanath, University of Pittsburgh School of Law.
Maya Bradley is a second-year law student at University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, where she is the co-director for the University of Pennsylvania’s International Refugee Assistance Project chapter. Prior to law school, she developed a passion for social justice work and intends to use her legal career to pursue this. She graduated from Cornell University with a B.A. in both Government and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. This summer, she will be serving as a legal intern for the ACLU of Pennsylvania.
Before beginning law school at the University of Pittsburgh, Namita worked for six years in fields of violence and trauma, spanning from direct advocacy to research. Her background in public health has made her a passionate advocate for equitable workspaces and schools, focusing on the application of anti-racist, healing-centered principles to secure justice and amplify the voices of marginalized populations. She believes strongly in community-led models for change. This summer, Namita will be at the Women’s Law Project in Pittsburgh as a Peggy Browning Fellow, helping address issues of gender-based discrimination in the workplace.
