Montero, and Carolina Inguina, who is also an LLM student at UM, attended alongside Daniela Acosta, a law clerk and second-year J.D. student at UM. 

Alejandro Portes and Patricia S. Abril discussed how the immigrant experience influences education, employment, civic engagement, and other aspects of American life. This program was one of several regional events discussing the ABA Hispanic Commission’s recent report, “Latinos in the United States: Overcoming Legal Obstacles, Engaging in Civic Life.” Recently, Jorge A. Mestre, a member of the Hispanic Commission, discussed the report’s findings at the ABA Annual Meeting in Chicago.
