A pandemic-ruined birthday lead to lawyer Cecillia Xie deciding that she would make a video that went viral and lead to her current position as a TikTok lawyer-influencer.
The Morrison & Foerster privacy lawyer is also a Harvard graduate and has become a significant influencer in terms of legal issues, including recent posts on paying off student debt and related matters of an interest to lawyers or prospective lawyers.
Her video (below) filmed in a music-backed popular meme format has helped amass nearly 190,000 followers, many of whom are those interested in legal study. It’s a largely educational/entertainment format with a legal theme that also provides some creative relief from the pressures of her current day job.
Xie interned in the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division in the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section. She was also a summer associate at the law firm Simpson, Thatcher & Bartlett, where she worked as an associate for two years. She joined Morrison & Foerster in 2018.
Her posts regularly feature videos dealing with law school and law issues, including her December video on paying off law school student loans.
