GUEST SPEAKER

She has extensive trial, appellate, and mediation experience and has prioritized public interest work throughout her career. Since 2012, Breihan has been part of a team of advocates seeking second-chance sentences for Missouri youth sentenced to die behind bars.
She also provided direct representation to those clients and worked for changes in the law to end juvenile life-without-parole sentences.
A graduate of Grinnell College and Northwestern University's Pritzker School of Law, Breihan was a trial attorney with the law firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner before she joined RSMJC.
