Our Founder:

My name is Jasmine Perrin, I am currently a law student at Eon University School of law. When I decided to go to law school, I began attending information sessions and researching topics like life as a law school student. I quickly noticed that diversity of age was promoted through the terms of traditional and non-traditional students. I also noticed the push to include students of all races. However, there was one minority never mentioned. That group was mothers who attend or graduated from law school. As a single mom, I knew the challenges for me would be different, especially since first-year law students can't work. At the time my daughter was 3 and I was wondering how to navigate law school as a mom and still be able to provide for my child emotionally and financially. I began researching and googling "moms in law school" and almost all my searches came up void. I only knew one lawyer who was familiar with the territory, but she had been out of law school so long, she didn’t remember much from her experience. So, I forged on anyway. I was accepted to law school in 2021 and only had about 5 moms in my class of about 180. After getting adjusted to my new life as a law student and juggling motherhood, I launched Moms in Law School.
