All of the students who walked across the stage to accept their diplomas at George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School’s 2023 commencement are now well equipped to take on their future law careers, but five of them have a some more practical experience in antitrust law thanks to their roles as research assistants with the Global Antitrust Institute (GAI).
The GAI is grateful for these hardworking research assistants, who worked alongside faculty and staff, examining policy and exploring proposed legislation and enforcement guidelines to assist with the GAI comments and scholarship, in addition to providing help with the events throughout the year.
The GAI congratulates and celebrates the following research assistants who graduated this year:


As the lead research assistant during the 2022-2023 academic year, Rebekah assisted with hiring other research assistants, as well as managing and delegating assignments. At the commencement ceremony, she was recognized with Scalia Law’s Outstanding Academic Achievement in Antitrust Law and the Law School Community Service Award! Rebekah is also a member of the winning team at the 2022 Tulane International Baseball Arbitration Written Competition and she served as the President of the Mason Sport and Entertainment Law Association.
It was a campus orientation that led Rebekah to study antitrust. Her tour guide suggested that all incoming students take at least one antitrust class because of Mason’s reputation for offering an outstanding antitrust program. “I think that was the first time I had even heard the word ‘antitrust,’” she says. “I am grateful that I took her advice, as it led me to a new area of interest as well as to the GAI. The support I have received from the GAI has been pivotal to my law school experience!”
