Diksha Chhetri

While at Perkins, Diksha learned about transactional and regulatory practice areas of law, but she always wanted to study law to be a litigator. And so, in law school, she took every opportunity to understand what litigation practice entails and what it takes to be a litigator. During her 2L year, she worked at Shook, Hardy and Bacon LLP, where she assisted attorneys in conducting several depositions in multi-district product liability litigation and drafted several pre-trial motions on toxic tort cases. She also interned for Hon. Judge Barry Baskin, where she worked on several complex commercial litigation matters involving antitrust vertical integration and product liability.

Diksha is deeply passionate about law and advocacy, with extensive experience tutoring public speaking and 1L law courses. Her exceptional public speaking skills have earned her a gold medal in the NCF Persuasive Speaking Spring Flings Tournament, the "World Changer" award in public speaking, and a finalist position in the Arnold & Porter Government Contracts Moot Court. She also recently received a President's Award (Gold) for Outstanding Pro Bono Services. These achievements highlight her talent for teaching students to communicate effectively and present themselves compellingly. 

As a coach, Diksha is driven by a desire to help students succeed. She excels at breaking down the daunting application process into manageable steps and helping candidates determine their strengths. She personalizes her coaching approach for each student, guiding them to present their best selves to top-tier law schools. Additionally, Diksha helps students understand how to craft a compelling application and ensures they stay on track throughout the application process. Diksha is excited to help Juris students reach their full potential!

In her free time, Diksha enjoys helping others and winding down her day with a glass of passion fruit wine.
