Meet the UDRs


Géraldine Rothschild

My name is Géraldine Rothschild and I am currently a senior, majoring in Economics and French with a minor in Legal Studies. Apart from being a UDR, I am also president of the Pre-Law Society. Some of the LGLS courses I have taken include Introduction to Law with Professor Breen, Conflict Management with Professor Stimell, Economic Philosophies with Professor Gaskins, and Constitutional Law with Professor Woll.

Over the past four summers, I interned in one of the U.S.’s top intellectual property law firms, Cantor Colburn LLP, in Hartford, CT. This year, I will be busy writing an Economics-Legal Studies combined thesis and applying to law school.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email at atgroth91@brandeis.edu.


Joe Corsello

My name is Joe Corsello and I am a senior here at Brandeis. I am an International and Global Studies and Politics Major in addition to my Legal Studies Minor. I am also involved in the Brandeis Club Ski and Hockey Team.

As a junior, I went abroad in the Fall to Madrid, and the summer before I was lucky enough to study in The Hague with Brandeis. I have worked with a large Litigation Firm previously and I am hoping to go off to law school next year. I have a particular interest in Criminal Law and International Law.

Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the Legal Studies Minor, the courses, or any general concerns about Brandeis. I look forward to working with you all in the future! My email address is corsello@brandeis.edu.


Christine Chen

My name is Christine Chen and I am a senior this year. I am a politics major and a legal studies minor. I am currently interning at the Attorney General's Office in downtown Boston, working for the PIAC division as a mediator between consumers and businesses when the former files a complaint against the latter.

In my past three years at Brandeis, I have taken the following courses that have fallen under the legal studies department: Civil Liberties in America, Seminar: Constitutional Law and Theory, Administrative Law, Human Rights, and Introduction to Law.

I am really excited to have the chance to be a UDR for the Legal Studies Department and I am especially looking forward to working with all of you in the next year! Best of luck and please don't hesitate to contact me at atcchen12@brandeis.edu with any questions that you may have!
