About Me

I am a second year law student at Harvard law. Grew up in Tijuana, Mexico and lived for a few years in California (either San Diego or Santa Barbara). Next year I will be at King's College of Cambridge University in England working on a masters degree in Law (probably focus on International Law). Last summer I worked at Bingham McCutchen LLP, this summer I will work at Latham & Watkings in San Diego. After graduation I will probably work at a large law firm for some years, at some point probably teach International Law. I am also one of Santa Barbara's foremost fans... maybe someday I will be able to move back and enjoy the cool waves and sticky tar of Devereux.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I know this is a "I'd like to meet" space, but I would rather include a quote that I find to be absolutely essential in understanding what jurisprudence should be and that succinctly and poetically depicts my own philosophy of espistemology: "When men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe even more than they believe the very foundations of their own conduct that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas -- that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes safely can be carried out. That at any rate is the theory of our Constitution. It is an experiment, as all life is an experiment. Every year if not every day we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge."Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in Abrams v. U.S. (1919)
