“We had many impressive scholarship candidates, but Christina’s work really resonated with us,” said firm founder Barry J.

We expect extraordinary things from her in the future, and it is our great pleasure to help her achieve those goals.”
Ms. Gil is expected to graduate in 2020.

About Christina Gil
Christina Gil completed her undergraduate work at Georgetown University in 2013, where she was awarded First Honors for multiple semesters. During this time, she worked as an Institute Assistant for the Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies, and later as a legal aid intern at the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR). She also worked as a law clerk in the office of the Cook County Public Defender; an Administrative Assistant to Senior Vice President at AGB Search; a Program Assistant for the National Hispana Leadership Institute (NHLI); and later as a Scheduling Intern and Assistant to the Chicago Director for the office of Senator Richard Durbin.
