Why Tycko & Zavareei LLP?
Everyone’s energy and commitment to fighting against the “big guys” and seeking justice for those they harm was palpable at each step of the interview process. TZ is exactly the kind of team of passionate, like-minded lawyers that I’ve had my eyes on joining since I learned about public interest plaintiff’s side firms as a 1L in Civ Pro, and I’m so thrilled to have joined!
Em Feder Cooper has dedicated much of her legal and public interest career to advancing gender justice. She started by doing reproductive legislative work at the New York City Council Women’s Caucus. During law school, she worked with Sanctuary for Families to help women obtain uncontested divorces or temporary restraining orders. As a legal clerk at the Equal Rights Advocates, Em focused on Title IX matters and assisted sexual assault survivors in preparing for their hearings. She also had the privilege of participating as a student advocate at New York legal Aid Group’s Pro Se Volunteer Clinic at SDNY on a variety of legal matters and was able to leverage her Spanish when assisting clients. Em’s legal research has focused on the legal implications of interstate distribution of the medication abortion pills, intersectional sex- and race-based employment discrimination, and psychological trauma of workplace sexual harassment discrimination and the importance of expert witnesses. Thanks to her coursework on discrimination theory and law, Em is passionate about exposing unlawful harms perpetrated by cosmetics companies and amending the Federal Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938.
We look forward to hearing from you.
