Sarah Medina Camiscoli

Sarah Medina Camiscoli is a first generation, LGBTQ+ attorney of the Puerto Rican diaspora from NYC. Sarah’s research focuses on the intersection of youth legal autonomy and social movements. She considers the possibilities that expanding youth power and realizing the demands of intergenerational social movements for racial and economic justice can create for Constitutional Law, Education Law & Policy, and Legal Ethics and Professionalism. She works as a Justice Catalyst Legal Fellow at Public Counsel and a lecturer at Yale College. Before law school, Sarah worked as a public school teacher in the South Bronx where she founded IntegrateNYC— a youth-led organization that develops young leaders who repair the harms of segregation and build authentic integration and equity. Upon graduating from Yale Law School, Sarah co-founded the Peer Defense Project—an intergenerational movement lawyering project that builds integrated advocacy and democratizes legal tools with mobilized youth leaders.
