Flannery Rogers ’20 is a 3L full-time day student and the Managing Editor of the UMass Law Review. She is also a Public Interest Fellow and a member of the UMass National Moot Court Team. She plans to work as a public defender after graduating and hopes to enter the criminal appellate practice later in her career.
Prior to attending law school, Flannery received a Master of Science from the London School of Economics and Political Science in Law, Anthropology and Society. Her dissertation examined the conflict between public and private conceptions of the political subject in both biotechnological and revolutionary discourse. This segued nicely into her next career—six years as an oyster farmer in Waquoit Bay on Cape Cod. Flannery also serves as a Town Meeting Member and as a member of the Charter Review Committee for the Town of Falmouth. She lives in Woods Hole, Massachusetts and wishes she had more time to go sailing.
