    Name:  Alexandra Jara

    What is your practice area of interest?

    I hope to practice in the area of Corporate litigation. 

    What is a recent academic or personal accomplishment you would like to highlight?

    I graduated law school Summa Cum Laude

    What does winning the Stipend mean to you?

    It was such a great motivation for the bar and has helped me so much with the expenses that come with taking the exam, especially after not working for months to study

    What are your post-bar plans? 

    Getting back to work and going to bar association events to network.

    What was your favorite part of Law School?

    Being a part of Law Review and publishing a Comment on a topic I’m passionate about.

    Philanthropic Interests (organizations or causes that are important to you):

    I have a interest in the LA Food Bank and Surfrider Foundation. 

    What is a fun or interesting fact about you that you would like OCWLA members to know?

    Name: Megan Kamau

    What is your practice area of interest?

    I hope to practice in the area of Estate Planning and Probate as well as Legal Aid. I also have an interest in Immigration Law. 

    What is a recent academic or personal accomplishment you would like to highlight?

    I finished ranked #1 in my class at Trinity Law School. 

    What does winning the Stipend mean to you?

    It was such a blessing as my husband is a private school teacher and I have been a full time student so finances were very tight and a major source of stress in our lives. Winning the Bar Stipend was a relief from the stress and allowed me not only to just focus on the bar without having to worry about the financial aspect but it also was an exciting boost of energy and motivation to really give my all to the exam. 

    What are your post-bar plans? 

    To reconnect with family, friends, and my interests before bar prep (and even law school!), as well as jump back into legal work doing what I love.

    What was your favorite part of Law School?

    My favorite part of law school was the clinics and internships that I was able to participate in as a law student. I did a semester at the Orange County Rescue Mission Legal Clinic providing free legal aid to the residents there, and then I did another semester internship at the Orange County District Attorney’s Office in the Mental Health and Recidivism Unit. I just loved the hands-on and real world experience that I gained and essentially getting to do the work of a lawyer before actually becoming one. It was exciting and reinforced my desire to become an attorney. 

    Philanthropic Interests (organizations or causes that are important to you):

    I have a passion for Legal Aid and more specifically helping those that are underprivileged, but willing to put in the time and effort to help themselves, being able to receive excellent legal help that is not determined by what they can afford. 

    What is a fun or interesting fact about you that you would like OCWLA members to know?

    I love to travel and I have had the privilege of traveling to about 10 different countries so far. I actually met my husband in Australia who was originally born in Kenya. We now love to travel the world together.

    Is there anything else you would like the OCWLA Members to know about you?

    I am so thankful to the OCWLA for the Bar Stipend award and the absolute blessing and resource it was to me. I look forward to being a part of this organization and getting to be amongst powerful women attorneys to both learn from and partner with!
