　　Liz is a Harvard Law student originally from Berkeley, California. She attended UCLA for her undergraduate degree, where she studied World Literature and Political Science while picking up Japanese in her spare time. She heard about the Zhicheng internship through a friend who also applied, and after researching the organization online and reading the positive reviews in the Harvard Law internship database, decided it was a great chance to get experience working with NGOs abroad and learn more about a fascinating and dynamic world economy. Her work focuses on research related to workers rights, employment contracts and workplace compensation. She is committed to using the law to establish and support social systems that benefit and protect otherwise vulnerable populations, and has greatly enjoyed learning about the dynamic legal environment in China from the fantastic lawyers at Zhicheng Public Interest Law Center, all of whom have been warm and willing to answer any questions and share their experiences.

　　“Working at Zhicheng has given me a great exposure to an evolving legal system from those working on the front lines. Addressing issues such as those tackled by organizations like Zhicheng is the reason I attended law school, and working with the passionate and dedicated lawyers at Zhicheng and learning of their successes and challenges has taught me a lot about the type of lawyer that I want to be.”
