Brid Freiberg

Brid Freiberg is a J.D. candidate at Charleston School of Law, based in Charleston, South Carolina, where she focuses on the intersection of law, public policy, and public service. She currently serves as a policy advisor and research analyst for the Mullins McLeod gubernatorial campaign, advising on South Carolina legislation and emerging policy issues. Brid brings a strong commitment to connectability, compassion, and advocacy to her work, grounding legal analysis in real-world impacts on communities.

Before law school, Brid graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh at just 20 years old with a degree in Political Science and a minor in French. She went on to spend two years as an AmeriCorps member in Washington, D.C., supporting after-school enrichment and college-readiness programs—an experience that shaped her dedication to public interest law and lifelong service. She has since worked in criminal defense and property law through clerkships and externships, gaining hands-on experience representing individuals often overlooked by the legal system.

At Charleston School of Law, Brid is an editor on the Journal of Law and Public Policy and an active member of the Criminal Law Society and South Carolinians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. Her recent policy research has focused on environmental and community impacts of large-scale data centers in South Carolina. Outside of her professional work, Brid is an avid reader and volunteers locally to support feral cat colonies, reflecting her belief that advocacy begins at the community level and that people—and places—deserve care beyond their worst moments.
