Law School Conservative

Heather Schilling grew up in Hatfield, Pennsylvania where she has been involved with local politics since the age of 11. Throughout high school she was active in the Student Government Association and sat on the Pennsylvania Association of Student Councils Executive Board while still finding time to work at a law firm after school. She attended college at The American University in Washington, DC where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Law & Society in May, 2006.

During her time at AU, she participated in the College Republicans, Circle K, the Student Confederation and was a Resident Assistant on the Tenley Campus her junior and senior years. Much of her time was spent with the Gamma Delta Chapter of the Phi Mu Fraternity serving as the Panhellenic Representative and later the Vice President. In her senior year she was honored with the title of Rose Queen of the Theta Eta chapter of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity.

Heather has interned for Pennsylvania State Representative Robert W. Godshall (PA-52); the Department of Justice, Office of International Affairs, Criminal Division; The District Attorney’s Office for Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; and DCI Group, LLC (a Public Affairs Firm).

She is currently in her second year at Drexel University’s Earle Mack School of Law and is a member of the Criminal Justice Society, Drexel Law Republicans, and is working to help bring a Phi Delta Phi chapter to the law school.

When not studying, reading, briefing, or outlining, Heather enjoys spending time with her boyfriend, her cat (appropriately named Justice), and conference calling with her two best friends from college. She has an obsession with the Supreme Court, Hanson, sharpies, celebrity gossip, quatrefoils, and the BAMFs; also, she has been told that she is not allowed to enter AC Moore un-chaperoned.

Her interests include criminal, immigration, constitutional and comparative international law and she hopes to become a prosecutor after graduation from law school.
