This past summer, I interned abroad as a Legal Trainee at Meana Abogados in Barcelona, Spain.

My name is Diana Bonilla, and I’m a first-generation senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison majoring in Legal Studies and Chicane Latine Studies, with a certificate in Criminal Justice Studies.

Quibus mihi videntur ludibrio fuisse divitiae: quippe, quas honeste habere licebat, abuti per turpitudinem properabant. Sed lubido stupri, ganeae ceterique cultus non minor incesserat: viri muliebria pati, mulieres pudicitiam in propatulo habere; vescendi causa terra …
