Maria Madison is a real life Elle Woods. Having just taken the LSAT a couple of weeks ago, Maria buckled down in the months before and studied herself into a cocoon until the exam. She is incredibly determined yet is one of the most outgoing and fun people you’ll ever meet. I have had the pleasure of knowing Maria since she was a wee high schooler, and there has rarely been a time when I have seen her without a smile on her face. After transferring to Case her sophomore year, Maria felt welcome very quickly and became very involved on campus.
