Ava Bandelli

My name is Ava Bandelli and I’m a sophomore in Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences from Westfield, NJ. Currently, I’m double majoring in Sociology and English with a minor in Economics, in pursuant to a pre-law track. I’m very passionate about how crime and social justice are related, studying instances of police brutality and other consequences stemming from flawed implementations of law enforcement practices such as Broken Windows policing and Zero Tolerance policies. In past years, I had interned at two law firms learning about matrimonial and criminal procedures. Additionally, I spent multiple summers shadowing a Civil Supreme Court judge in Brooklyn, NY, learning how court systems and judicial proceedings function on a day-to-day basis. In my free time, I host a DJ slot for the Rutgers University radio station, WRSU-88.7FM New Brunswick!
