Court. Ms. Egonis served as an intern at Tahirih Justice Center in Falls Church, Virginia, where she
worked with immigrant women feeling human rights violations. Ms. Egonis also explored the area of public
interest law, participating in the law center’s pro bono volunteer initiative, working with the Texas
Innocence Network to investigate claims of actual innocence in capital cases, and serving as a public
interest fellow at the United Nations International Labour Office in Geneva, Switzerland.

Before becoming a lawyer, Ms. Egonis worked as a technical writer and editor, drafting materials and
managing documentation efforts for various multinational companies.
