On Wednesday, April 10 ,distinguished alumnus Steven Peña, Senior Professor of Law and Practitioner-in-Residence at St. Mary’s University, spoke with Dr. Varacalli’s Constitutional Law: Individual Liberties (PS 3333) class about his experience as a lawyer and the importance of the rule of law. He encouraged students, particularly those who are first-generation college students, to not only think about attending law school, but to challenge themselves to be politically involved and attentive to local government. Mr. Peña also met informally over lunch with four political science students – Christian Sears, Vanessa Diaz, Francis Santos, and Jamie Aceves – who are planning to attend law school.
