We are back this this week welcoming Fawzeih Daher to District II! We are excited to have her on YLS Council. Keep reading to learn more about her.

Current place of employment? Collins Einhorn Farrell PC

Law school? Wayne State University Law School

Objectives/goals related to your new position as Council Member–i.e. what do you want to accomplish? My goals on the Council include supporting programs that help younger attorneys in their transition to the practice and providing informational sources to law students as they begin to prepare for graduation.

Favorite thing about your geographic region in Michigan? The diversity and close-knit community that I live in.

Why did you choose to pursue a legal career? I’ve always had an interest in the law, the intellectual challenges that come with the job, and the idea of being an advocate. Being able to see the day-to-days of the job during an undergrad internship at the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed those thoughts. 

What is one (or two) pieces of advice you wish you knew when you were starting your legal career that you know now? Don’t doubt yourself and have faith in your capabilities. What is the best part of your job? The opportunity to learn something new every day and being able to deeply analyze and question the law.

What is surprising about your job that others may not know? I only have one court hearing for each of my cases. Not sure if that’s surprising, but I think it’s pretty unique!

What do you like to do in your spare time (i.e. hobbies and interests)? Spend time with my family and friends, exercise, bake, and re-watch Grey’s Anatomy. 

If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Time travel. 

And I have to ask this question (though I feel so many interviews do!): If you could have lunch with any person, living or dead, who would it be? Why? Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It’s hard to think of a more monumental and historic figure for women lawyers, women in general, and any person who’s been affected by inequality on the basis of sex, race, religion, class, etc. She’s always been a personal role model and one of my dreams was to watch her during a live Supreme Court hearing.
