Jackie Vargas recently earned her Master’s in Art Business from Sotheby’s Institute of Art, where she currently serves as a Teaching Assistant. Her experience in galleries, art fairs, and artist studio management, along with her Sotheby’s Art Law coursework, inspired her to pursue law school with a focus on Intellectual Property.
Ambre Sananes is a French lawyer and a graduate of the LL.M. in Competition, Innovation and Information Law at NYU School of Law. She studied Intellectual Property and Digital Law at Université Paris-Saclay and Digital Creation Law at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Before her LL.M., she interned at an intellectual property and technology law firm in France, where she worked on matters involving art forgery.

She wrote her thesis on the implementation of artificial intelligence in provenance research, and her research interests include restitution disputes and the intersection between museums and the art market.
Shubhan Mehta is from Long Island, NY, but currently resides in New Haven, CT as a sophomore studying English at Yale University.

Nina Shih is a second-year law student at Cardozo. She graduated from Princeton University as a history major and a violin minor, and she decided to pursue Intellectual Property and Art Law at Cardozo due to her love for violin, classical composition, and oil painting.
