Background

About Eric Ohri

As a lawyer in India and a Master of Laws (LLM) student in the Sustainable International Development Graduate Program at the University of Washington School of Law, I am passionate about advancing social justice and human rights through legal education and advocacy. I have acquired multiple skills in law, communication, and research through my academic and professional endeavors. Currently, I am an intern at Landesa, a global organization that works to secure land rights for the world's poorest people. I assist in drafting and reviewing legal documents, conducting legal research, and developing policy recommendations on land issues. Previously, I worked as an associate at Law, a law firm in India, where I handled both civil and criminal matters, representing clients in courts and tribunals. I have also contributed to pro bono and community service projects, such as organizing and delivering presentations in remote areas of India to educate people, especially women, about their basic legal rights. I aspire to use my legal knowledge and skills to make a positive impact on the lives of marginalized and vulnerable communities.
