Before joining Loyola's Center on Juvenile Law and Policy, Samantha Buckingham advocated on behalf of indigent clients for five years as a trial attorney at the Public Defender Service for the District of
Columbia. At PDS, she represented children charged as adults in
criminal court with serious felonies including homicides, and she also represented children facing delinquency adjudications in family court. As a law student, Buckingham clerked for Legal Services for Children and the Federal Public Defender, both located in San Francisco. Prior to that, she taught high school at the Maya Angelou School, a Washington D.C. charter high school for adjudicated and at- risk youth.
