Background

About Benjamin Trouvais

I am a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Political Science, and I am a Juris Doctor graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law.While a student at the University of Illinois, I conducted several independent and faculty-led research projects. These projects were multifaceted and highly quantitative, revolving around the collection and analysis of large government-run data sources. Additionally, I co-founded the student-led, pro bono consulting group named Illinois Economics Consulting, and I served as that organization's second president. The consulting group sought to connect economics students at the university with community partners, allowing students to employ the theoretical skills they learned in the classroom to problems facing real-world companies and organizations.In law school, I serve as a Senior Executive Editor of the Berkeley Journal of Employment and Labor Law. I also serve as an Alumni Relations Co-Chair of Berkeley Law's Plaintiffs' Law Association. I am extremely interested in negotiations and have refined my negotiating skills in law school, taking a course on the Harvard model of negotiations and participating in Berkeley Law's 1L negotiations competition.
