ATTORNEY SPOTLIGHT

Get to Know Tara J. Plochocki

What inspired you to pursue a law career? I had been leaning towards being a lawyer since I was young, probably because of subtle brainwashing by my parents.  In my early 20s, however, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to be based in the United States, so getting a U.S. law degree was not necessarily right for me. I had some incredible job opportunities after university—serving in the Peace Corps in Jordan after 9/11, teaching in the foothills of the Himalayas in a Tibetan refugee community and working and living with ex-political prisoners, and then helping Reed Brody at Human Rights Watch put together the case for genocide against Hissène Habre—that made fieldwork and advocacy seem really appealing. But one day, I was covering the lunch shift at a restaurant near the United Nations headquarters in New York—this is where my roommates and I worked to make ends meet—and I was serving a couple of gentlemen with U.N. credentials. I overheard them talking about an armed conflict that was going on at the time, in which one country was absolutely crushing the civilians of the other. To put it mildly, I did not agree with them, and I came away from my shift that day 100% certain that I did not ever want to be in a position where, in advocating for a cause, I had to rely solely on the good will of politicians. Solving a problem by getting an enforceable court order from a judge held much more appeal (Pun intended).  I went to the University of Michigan Law School the next year.
