Jones Health Law Welcomes Renee Sealy as Fall 2025 Intern

Renee Sealy is a 3L at Florida International University’s College of Law. Renee was the Veteran Military Legal Student Association Secretary as well as the Intellectual Property Student Association Secretary.

Why did you decide to go to law school?

I decided to attend law school to gain the fundamental knowledge needed to advocate for my future clients. I have always been inclined to stand up for people who were either taken advantage of or overlooked, and I often found myself advocating for friends and loved ones. I was also very interested in medicine and science, though not enough to pursue a career as a nurse or doctor. When I discovered the niche field of health law, I realized it combined all of my interests. I wanted to learn the procedures and requirements necessary to advocate for people in the medical field, as well as those affected by medical professionals or by the systems that create policies and guidelines impacting both practitioners and the general public.
What interests you about Health Law?

I believe health law is a dynamic and comprehensive field that is constantly evolving, as practitioners must stay informed and advise clients on ever-changing state and federal regulations. I am also passionate about promoting health more broadly. Ensuring that patients and medical professionals understand how laws and policies affect their health or their practice is particularly intriguing to me.
What are you hoping to gain from this internship?

I hope to gain practical exposure to health law, both in transactional and litigation matters. While I have primarily considered and been exposed to the world of litigation, I believe that gaining experience in transactional law will be equally valuable. I also want to continue developing my legal research and writing skills, while deepening my overall appreciation and understanding of health law in practice.
