Christina Lamoureux, JD
Now a practicing attorney in Washington D.C., Christina Lamoureux received her JD from the George Washington University Law School. When she first came to Great Books as a middle schooler, she never imagined just how relevant her summer learning would be to her future career.

Today as an attorney, Christina tells us that she uses what she learned at Great Books daily. “I learned how to examine a text through different lenses, determine the significance of different sentences and clauses, and break down a challenging piece of writing into comprehensible parts- all things I continue to do in my day-to-day work.”
Christina even joked that she got a jump start on reading legal cases as GB, “Learning how to read a Supreme Court case becomes much less challenging when you’ve already learned how to read Aristotle’s philosophy of law!”
