A Justice Advocate Grounded by the Community She Serves

Taylor Clarke, Bonner.org •

By the time Tracie started law school she was ready for it. She found there was more time studying and less time in the community. She explained that, “Bonner had put a battery in my back.” So, while she readily embraced the rigors of law school, she missed her connection to the community. Her first summer internship brought her back to the engagement she loved. In 2016 she worked at the Juvenile Law Center, where she conducted legal research and writing on the constitutionality of youth policing tactics, while visiting juvenile detention facilities and sitting in on delinquency proceedings.
