All you nervous 1Ls — so worried about your first set of law school exams that you have no time to socialize or even see daylight. What if I told you that one amongst your ranks was winning… big? Not just at law school but in the game called life? Jealous yet?
Meet Sarah Xiyi Chen. A Boalt Hall 1L, Chen has been spending her time between torts and contracts coding. She’s come up with a nifty little Chrome extension that will replace the text “Donald Trump” or “Trump” with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Tom Riddle, You-Know-Who, or Lord Voldemort.

But Chen apologizes to Voldemort for the comparison, so I’m sure all is forgiven:
