Max German is a rising 2L at Boston College Law School. He holds a B.A., magna cum laude, in Political Science from Boston College, where he matriculated upon transferring from Quinsigamond Community College in his hometown of Worcester, MA. At Boston College, German won several honors, such as being named a Dean’s Scholar, and received a Truman Scholarship. After school, he became engaged in the fight for workers’ rights at the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. As the proud grandson of a Teamsters Local 170 member, German knows the transformative nature of a union job and the security it brings to working families. While at the MA AFL-CIO, he helped fight back against attempts by Uber and Lyft to misclassify their drivers as independent contractors and was a key member of the coalition that blocked their 2022 ballot referendum before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. German also worked as a Deputy Press Secretary at the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, where he helped to communicate the work of the Attorney General’s Office to the public with a particular focus on regional and local media sources. As a 2025 Rappaport Fellow, German will spend his summer interning for the House Ways and Means Committee.
