🔆 Summer Intern Spotlight 🔆

We're excited to introduce Laurin Miller, one of our Summer Pro Bono Interns at the Lowcountry Mediation Center!

Laurin is a rising third-year law student at Charleston School of Law and a graduate of West Virginia University . She is interested in estate planning and family law and hopes to help individuals and families navigate life's most important decisions while serving as a strong advocate for those who need guidance, support, and a voice.

Outside of law school, Laurin enjoys spending time by the water, playing with her Dalmatian, Nori, spotting local wildlife, and getting lost in a good documentary.

Laurin was drawn to LMC because she wants to learn how to facilitate meaningful conversations and help people better understand one another. She believes mediation offers a unique opportunity to bridge differences through communication, empathy, and collaboration, and she is excited to gain experience helping people navigate conflict in a productive way.

We are grateful to have Laurin on our team this summer and look forward to seeing the impact she will make. Welcome to LMC, Laurin!
