Description
In Episode 4, we wrap up this week’s National Celebration of Pro Bono by talking to Stephanie Ledesma. Stephanie is the Associate Dean of the Thurgood Marshall School of Law Experiential Education program in Houston and one of NITA’s national faculty members. In addition to developing curricula for law schools, agencies, and other legal professionals, she serves the bar on the local, state, national, and international level and volunteers within her Houston community. Stephanie’s recent travel to Namibia to teach for NITA is a case in point for the nearness and dearness in her heart for public service.
