Marisa Olivas

I am in my final year of law school at DUs Sturm College of Law. The legal experience I have had and pursue has been a blend of movement lawyering, social justice, racial justice, indigent defense, and overall advocacy for marginalized communities. I interned with the Community Economic Defense Project and under the student practice act, I provided limited defense representation for Forcible Entry Detainer cases. Prior to that, I worked on policy aimed at ending the school to prison pipeline while enrolled in the Advancing Social Change Clinic at DU. I am excited and eager to begin work in criminal defense.
