Lauren Schwartz is from Pontiac, a small town in central Illinois. Her journey to IP law took a non-traditional route, shaped by a diverse array of experiences and a keen sense of self-awareness. Lauren attended University of Illinois for her undergrad, where she majored in psychology with a minor in chemistry. While her science background provided the foundation for pursuing a legal career, her passion for creative problem-solving and writing turned her attention to law and attended Northwestern Pritzker School of Law.
