Sam Osaki focuses her practice on complex litigation matters, representing clients across a range of disputes. Drawing on the insight and rigor gained through her federal clerkships, she brings a sophisticated understanding of judicial decision-making that informs her practice and helps clients navigate complex legal issues with greater strategic clarity.
Before her clerkships, Sam was an Equal Justice Works Legal Fellow with the ACLU Voting Rights Project, where she led efforts to address prison-based gerrymandering and worked on high-profile voting rights cases.
She earned her J.D. from the New York University School of Law, where she served as editor in chief of The Review of Law & Social Change and received several commencement awards –the Dean John Sexton Award, the Ann Petluck Poses Memorial Award, and the Journal Stewardship Award. She received her B.A., summa cum laude, in urban studies and English from the University of Pennsylvania, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and recognized as a Civic Scholar. She is also a former Fulbright Scholar.
