Nida went on to pursue her legal studies at UC Davis School of Law, where she concentrated in public-service and litigation coursework. Outside the classroom, Nida partook in the law school’s prestigious Civil Rights Clinic to address prisoner rights and advocacy; wrote education policy summaries and served as an Articles Editor for the Journal of Juvenile Law & Policy; and competed in intramural trial, negotiation, and bowling tournaments. During law school, Nida also interned as a Certified Student Law Clerk for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. As an attorney, Nida volunteered at Public Counsel’s at Public Counsel’s Appellate Self-Help Clinic.
