Matthew Barison’s Summary
After graduating from Trinity College with a B.A. in English, I joined the Peace Corps and served in Uzbekistan and Romania for 2 1/2 years. I am now a 1L at Tulane Law School in New Orleans. Though I have yet to commit to a specific area of law, I am interested in Tulane's maritime, environmental and international programs.
