In the words of the HLS community member who nominated her, “I admire Mythili because, not only has she reached the highest echelons of the legal profession, she also cares deeply about the mentorship of people just starting out. Even as the most senior attorney in the room, she turns to law students and junior associates and asks, ‘What do you think?’ She inspires me because she both demonstrates mastery and expects it of others, no matter their position.”
