Samantha Hom joined our New Lawyers Group (NLG) in 2024. The NLG provides our newest lawyers with the opportunity to gain exposure to different practice areas and lawyering styles before making a commitment to a specific practice. Individuals in the NLG may focus on a particular area of practice, or compare practices, during their first year with Jones Day.
While in law school, Samantha was an oralist for Northwestern's Price Media Law Moot Court team. The Price Media Law Moot Court competition is an international competition hosted by Oxford University that focuses on free expression issues in international law. Samantha earned top 10 oralist awards both years she participated in the competition. Additionally, as a symposium editor for the Northwestern Journal of Human Rights, Samantha organized an event that hosted a prominent Russian media lawyer to speak on free press challenges facing Russian journalists covering the war in Ukraine.
