Hey, future law students! Are you ready for some amazing news? We at Ginsburg Advanced are thrilled to announce the launch of our very own scholarship program. But before we dive into the details, I want to share a personal story that inspired this scholarship.
A Personal Journey of Resilience
It has been nearly nine years since I sustained a traumatic brain injury and blowout to my orbital socket while mountain biking on my honeymoon. I’ll always remember the moment just before I hit that tiny pebble on that downhill. I remember feeling like it was one of the best moments of my life. At the time, I thought I had my dream job as associate general counsel of a large school system in Maryland. I was working in Prince George’s County, the same circuit that my grandmother and aunt, the first mother–daughter judges in the country, had both served as judges. And then, in a second, my life changed forever.
The Birth of Ginsburg Advanced
Seven months after my injury, I was motivated to start Ginsburg Advanced. The goal was to create a tutoring company modeled like a law firm, with the curricular design and best practices needed to support the needs of students with disabilities and learning challenges. I needed to work from home because I couldn’t drive yet, and it was the ideal way to accommodate myself.
My logo, with blue light emanating behind it, was designed to represent the blue light vision therapy I did daily for four years to regain my ability to use my eyes, one by one, until they worked as a team again.
As I recovered, my clients' successes grew alongside me, in an intentionally designed, empathetic community that we all needed.
