A Note from Mr. Madrid, Italy's Mentor

Italy has a strong passion about the injustices that occur in her community of Watts. She is very outspoken about issues that deal with incarceration, immigration issues, and academic resources that students of color low - income communities do not have access too. Italy is a good candidate for Education Unlimited Mock Trial and will benefit from participating in this event because she is outspoken and this program will help her improve in her public speaking skills in order for her to pursue her dreams of being a lawyer. Further, Italy will benefit from the guidance of esteemed speaking instructors and professional attorneys because there is a dire need for more women of color in the judicial system. Overall, Italy will benefit from learning about the practices of law and how they play a role in the courtrooms.
