Elizabeth Williams is a first-year student at Loyola Law School focused on exploring the intersection of law and the entertainment industry.
Hi everyone, I’m Elizabeth! I’m currently a 1L at Loyola Law School in the day program. I came to law school directly from the University of Washington, where I double majored in journalism and psychology and minored in law, societies, and justice.
When I first got to college, I had no clue I would end up attending law school. But after diving deeper into journalism and psychology, I realized how much I cared about meaningful impact. That discovery ultimately led me to begin my law journey.
Part of that realization was sparked when I had the opportunity to lead Her Campus at Washington, a student organization that produces online magazine and social media content and hosts on-campus events. Building a creative and supportive community for women of all majors and grades was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my undergraduate years.
Finding community is what inspires me most. I knew that LLS was where I could take my next leap and find my people. I’ve made some challenging but rewarding moves in my life. My entire childhood I lived in a small town in Connecticut. I then moved to Seattle for college. If that wasn’t enough, I then spent a semester abroad in London, England. And of course, now, my home is Los Angeles. Living in all of these places has taught me so much about independence and confidence, qualities which have helped me navigate law school. I’ve also learned that the people are what makes a place so special. At LLS, the community is part of what makes it so great.
Outside of my studies, you can almost always find me reading or listening to music. This year alone, I’ve read 33 books! I also love going to concerts, with some of my favorites being Harry Styles’ Love on Tour and Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
