Mr. Joseph Pablo Strom is a second-year law student at Chicago-Kent College of Law. He received his B.A. from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Mr. Strom hopes to continue on a public interest path with his law degree, encouraging his peers to find ways to give back, and helping working people with labor, employment, and any overlapping areas of law. He plans to use the HLSF scholarship to help fund a class he will take this summer and his studies in the fall. This summer, he will work with the Civil Rights Team at Equip for Equality, assisting individuals with disabilities in Illinois on employment and other matters.
