Rachel Cardona

My name is Rachel Cardona, and I am from Miami, Florida. Currently, I am a rising 3L at the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law. Prior to starting law school, I graduated from the University of Central Florida with my B.A. in Legal Studies at the age of 19.

During my first year of law school, I balanced three leadership positions within our student organizations. I was the 1L Representative of the Diversity Coalition, the Social Media Coordinator of the Hispanic and Latino Law Student Association, and the Elections Commissioner of the Student Bar Association. During my second year of law school, I was the Director of Operations for the Hispanic and Latino Law Student Association and the Social Media Coordinator for the Student Bar Association. 

Last summer, I worked in Boston as a Legal Intern at the Law Offices of Giselle M. Rodriguez where I explored the complexities of immigration law. My experience at a woman-owned law practice advanced my adaptability and further enriched my Cuban heritage by connecting daily with her diverse clientele in speaking, writing, and translating in the Spanish language. 

This summer, I am working in New York City as a Legal Intern for Jeffrey Jacobson, Esq. at the Jacobson Firm where I am specializing in copyright law and trademarks within the entertainment industry. Together, we have co-authored two articles relating to recent issues in copyright law, such as the legal implications with Artificial Intelligence and the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Warner Chappell Music Inc. v. Sherman Nealy.
