Alberto A. Barraza is an admitted law student at the Chicago-Kent College of Law. He plans to focus his legal education towards a career in litigation. Mr. Barraza chose Chicago-Kent College of Law due to its flexible evening program and the rigorous courtroom skills training through Chicago-Kent’s Trial Advocacy program, which is ranked as one of the best in the country. He currently works as an office assistant for Howard & Howard Attorneys; a business law firm located in downtown Chicago. To gain key insight experience with the legal system beyond the classroom, he plans to continue working full-time with the firm, while attending law school in the evening.
Mr. Barraza earned his B.A., cum laude, from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in 2016 with a degree in Political Science and minor in Criminology, Law, and Justice.
