Auva also competed in the American Bar Association’s national moot court competition, where her skills were tested against those of law students from across the country.

 

During law school, Auva worked in house at FedEx Logistics.

Auva also served as a judicial law clerk at Shelby County Criminal Court. As a judicial law clerk, Auva authored orders, opinions, and memoranda in a wide variety of criminal cases.
