Shy Zvouloun
Chosen object: 'The Indispensible Calvin and Hobbes' by Bill Watterson
Shy is a second-year law student at the University. When Shy’s not completing coursework, she enjoys engaging with law beyond the classroom. She is a legal researcher at the Edinburgh International Justice Initiative, where she works as part of a fabulous team to provide pro-bono legal research assistance in the field of international criminal law.
Shy is also the Director of Events at the International Law Student Society, where she sources speakers to discuss issues in international law with students of the University. In her free time, she enjoys curling up with a cup of tea and a good book. When the sun is out, she can be found dogspotting in the Meadows or in one of Edinburgh’s many indie bookshops.
