Andrew Ziaja, labor lawyer in the Contempt, Compliance, and Special Litigation Branch of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in Washington DC

"Ziaja completed a Master of Public Affairs at Sciences Po from 2010 to 2012. He desired to expand his expertise into public policy and management after receiving a law degree and working for two years as an Attorney Advisor at the U.S. Department of Labor in the San Francisco Bay Area. At Sciences Po, Ziaja’s coursework was rigorous, but he also reflects fondly on his time in Paris. “Compared to going to law school, with so many students, Sciences Po felt so personal. It was intimate within our cohort of students,” he says. To him, practicing law at the private level is far different from practicing it at a federal level. “In private practice, every day is a new crisis. You get pulled from one issue to another, and you do not have a lot of time to react. When working for a federal agency, there is space for a different kind of thinking, bigger picture thinking.”
