Rising 3L Christina Ochoa sees the law as one tool that can help people assert their voice when their rights are being violated. She is working to help vindicate the rights of workers who have been discriminated against, harassed, and denied their rights. Ochoa has learned important advocacy skills during her time at law school, through involvement in student-run groups, the Human Rights Clinic, field placements, and her summer work. While an undergraduate at Cornell University, she was awarded the Newman Civic Fellowship for her demonstrated commitment to social justice efforts.

Who’s coming to law school, and why? Welcome back to our series meeting incoming UC Berkeley Law students! Our incoming class comes from all walks of life and all corners of the world, including Sabrina Rodríguez coming to Berkeley from Guadalajara. Sabrina is the great-granddaughter of the 50th president of Mexico, Abelardo L. Rodríguez, who received a Juris Doctor Honoris Causa from UC Berkeley in 1951. Sabrina is a senior transactional attorney at Ramirez Ortiz Abogados, a Guadalajara-based law firm that specializes in corporate, private international law, administrative law and regulatory compliance. Her hobbies are reading, ballet folklorico and water skiing. Sabrina is a Certified Expert Translator (a “Perito Traductor”) by the Supreme Court of Justice of the State of Jalisco. At UC Berkeley Law, she hopes to expand her expertise to provide counsel to clients operating across borders. Through Sabrina’s personal experience with illness, she realized how critical it is for patients to have a voice in shaping the policies that affect their care. She has worked with the Jalisco State Congress and Federal Senators writing amendment proposals for the Mexican General Law for Opportune Detection of Cancer in Childhood and Adolescence. Sabrina hopes to continue this work after her time at UC Berkeley Law, because “health is a right, not a privilege.” #UCBerkeleyLaw #LawSchoolLife #Law
