Anthony Carini

Class of 2023

Originally from San Jose, California, Anthony graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno, with an undergraduate degree in Economics Prior to attending Southwestern, Anthony worked at a large investment management firm – an experience every bit useful as it was eye-opening. Having grown up in a workingclass household in Silicon Valley, it was hard to ignore the impact of excessive wealth disparities on those around him, and his experiences there reinforced his desire to advocate for those fighting to break out of poverty.

This past summer, Anthony served as a law clerk for Bet Tzedek’s Eviction Defense Project. Helping clients overcome one of the most challenging obstacles they have faced was a deeply rewarding experience, and Anthony hopes to continue fighting against exploitation and oppression in all forms as his legal career progresses.

In the coming year, Anthony is honored to serve as a Judge Harry Pregerson Public Service Fellow in addition to his roles as Treasurer for the American Constitution Society – SW Chapter and as a staffer for Southwestern’s Journal of International Law He looks forward to meeting more peers in the community and deepening involvement in other public interest organizations’ volunteer events and projects.
