Licenciadas: It Takes Passion, Perspective, & Grit

In episode 6 of Licenciadas, we hear from Regina Hernandez, a legal aid attorney working at the intersection of criminal justice and civil rights. She is a supervisory attorney at Legal Aid Chicago and oversees the Criminal Records Expungement project. We hear about her journey in law school, how she overcame feeling like she didn't belong; how she survived a rocky job market; and what it takes to succeed in public interest. 

In the episode we discuss a paper Regina wrote along with another Lawtina, Lisbet Ballon, entitled: The Journey to Becoming a Latina Lawyer. Read it here: https://docplayer.net/34274579-The-journey-to-becoming-a-latina-lawyer.html
