Patricia Ruiz
Legal Experience: I took a media law course for my journalism degree.
What are you currently doing? I am the co-president of the International Law Society. I’m diligently working on acing my first year of law school.
What do you like most about NIU Law? My favorite thing about NIU Law is how the small class sizes create an intimate learning environment where it's never too scary or embarrassing to ask a question. There are always other people willing to help, whether they are other 1Ls, 3Ls about to graduate, or even professors. We've all been in the same situation and want to see each other do well!
