Hailing from Siberia, Olga Koroleva felt isolated from her true passions of international law until she found the Jessup. The Jessup Competition became her primary pursuit with her sights set on carrying the team to the knockout rounds, something her law school had never accomplished. She was awarded a scholarship to attend an LLM Program at the University of the Pacific in California, US. Her tireless efforts helped the team succeed to the knockout rounds.
