Claire Wills

Claire is a former high school teacher who was inspired to pursue law as another way to advocate for others—particularly children and families navigating difficult circumstances.

Now a second-year student at the University of Houston Law Center, she serves as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), working to ensure that children in foster care have a voice in the legal system and that their best interests are represented.

Claire’s background in education has shaped her commitment to equity, empathy, and accessible advocacy, values she continues to carry into her legal studies and community work. She is passionate about combining her teaching experience with her legal training to create meaningful change for youth and families in need.
