Sophomore Communication Studies Student Interns with Chicago Legal Firm

... As a legal intern for Romanucci & Blandin, [Jenny] Castaño sat in on attorney meetings, listened to depositions, researched cases and organized files and police camera footage. Additionally, she helped one of the founding partners prepare for a television debate on the topic of police misconduct settlements. She found a special interest in civil rights and sexual abuse cases throughout her work.

Debra Thomas, managing attorney at Romanucci & Blandin, was Castaño’s direct supervisor this summer. Thomas saw Castaño approach her assignments with enthusiasm and incredible work ethics. Whether she was supporting the office in civil rights legal matters or office work, she took everything with a ready-to-go approach, especially in her future roles with advocacy.
