She also litigates violations of the False Claims Act and represents employees in class actions against their employers.
Before joining the firm, Aris externed for the Western Center on Law & Poverty, where she worked on discovery and conducted extensive research on FEHA and Covid-19 Tenant Relief Act conflict of law issues, equity concerns regarding unemployment insurance and address requirements, and Covid-19 rent forgiveness agreements. She interned at the ACLU of Southern California, where she engaged in substantial research and writing in preparation for redistricting. She also interned at Bet Tzedek Legal Services, where she worked on legal issues related to obtaining and maintaining housing, including improper notice, relocation assistance, LARSO, Covid-19 protections, Section 8, and public benefits.
Aris received her J.D. from UCLA School of Law in 2022 with a specialization in the David J. Epstein Public Interest Law and Policy program. She received her B.A. in Neuroscience & Behavior from Columbia University in the City of New York in 2016.
During law school, Aris was the Symposium Director for the UCLA Journal of International Law & Foreign Affairs, where she organized the journal’s 2022 symposium on “Borders, the Pandemic & Human Rights.” The symposium addressed how race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability serve as social barriers to those attempting to access and utilize domestic power structures and institutions.
