As Chief Counsel she is responsible for facilitating internal communication and working with multistate partners and external stakeholders. In the last ten months California has filed nearly 50 lawsuits addressing matters including federal funding cuts\, agency dismantling\, data disclosure demands\, and National Guard deployment. Those actions have been broadly successful\, including saving California over $168 billion in funding for education\, healthcare\, and infrastructure; protecting Californians’ sensitive data; preserving access to public benefits like healthcare\, disability\, and nutrition programs; and protecting birthright citizenship. \n  \nChristina has practiced in the California Department of Justice for 25 years. Prior to her current position\, Christina was a Supervising Deputy Attorney General in the Land Use and Conservation Section where she represented state agencies that own and regulate land in California\, including the California Coastal Commission and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. There\, she led the Department’s Housing Justice Team which enforces California’s housing laws to increase housing affordability and access across the state. She also led the cross-sectional team addressing land use and wildfire risk. Christina previously administered the Honors Program which provides new lawyers the opportunity to join the Department. Christina also worked in the Office of the Solicitor General on federal and state appellate matters. She started her practice in the Department in the Civil Division in the Torts and Condemnation Section\, where she was responsible for trial and appellate litigation in state and federal court. Christina worked in private practice before joining the Office of the Attorney General. Before law school\, Christina was a logistics specialist for the U.S. Navy. Christina graduated from Mount Holyoke College and UCLA Law School. \n  \n  \nAnurima Bhargava \n \nBio: \nAnurima Bhargava is the Founder andCEO of Anthem of Us\, a strategic advisory and consulting firm that centers dignity\, justice\, and belonging in workplaces\, schools\, and communities. Clients include leading financial institutions\, corporations\, foundations\, schools\, and media\, arts\, and non-profit organizations.     \n  \nFrom 2018-2022\, she served as Chair and Commissioner of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom\, which documents and makes recommendations on religious persecution and violence abroad.  She made diplomatic visits to Burma\, the Rohingya camps in Bangladesh\, Iraq\, Sudan\, and Vietnam.  Her engagement across the Commission was recently profiled in the New York Times.   \n  \nFrom 2010-2016\, Bhargava led federal civil rights enforcement and policy in schools and higher education institutions across the nation at the U.S. Department of Justice; she spearheaded landmark guidance and litigation on school discipline\, sexual harassment and violence\, English Learners\, and students with disabilities. She previously served as Director of the Education Practice and associate counsel at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund from 2004-2010\, where she litigated cases on diversity\, discrimination and segregation in schools and higher education institutions\, including in the federal appellate courts and U.S. Supreme Court.  From 2016-2018\, she was a fellow at the Institute of Politics and the Carr Center for Human Rights at Harvard\, and a Leadership in Government Fellow at Open Society Foundations.    \n  \nA central pillar of Anthem of Us’s work is advancing dignity and justice through narrative and storytelling.  Bhargava has produced and advised numerous documentary films and projects\, including the Oscar-nominated and Peabody-winning documentary\, Writing With Fire\, Peabody-winning While We Watched; Emmy-nominated Our Body Politic\, A Shot At History\, The Inquisitor\, Barefoot Empress\, Patang and the HBO docuseries The Vow.  She recently premiered her directorial debut\, Teaching America\, which chronicles the students and teachers who joined together to stand up for African-American Studies classes in Arkansas.    \n  \nBhargava chairs the U.S. Board of Doc Society; co-chairs the National Advisory Board on Public Service at Harvard; and serves on the board of the National Women’s Law Center Action Fund and Democracy House.  She serves on the Capacity Council for Brown Girls Doc Mafia and the leadership committee of Crimson Courage.    \n  \nBhargava advises numerous political campaigns and was appointed to the 2020 DNC Platform Committee.

Instilling in him the lessons they learned from the United Farm Workers and the civil rights movement\, Attorney General Bonta’s parents lit a fire inside him to fight against injustice — to stand up for those who are taken advantage of or harmed. It’s why he decided to become a lawyer — to help right historic wrongs and fight for people who have been harmed. He worked his way through college and graduated with honors from Yale University and attended Yale Law School. \n  \nIn the State Assembly\, Attorney General Bonta enacted nation-leading reforms to inject more justice and fairness into government and institutions. As the People’s Attorney\, he sees seeking accountability from those who abuse their power and harm others as one of the most important functions of the job. In elected office\, he has taken on powerful interests and advanced systemic change — pursuing corporate accountability\, standing up for workers\, punishing big polluters\, and fighting racial injustice. He has been a national leader in the fight to transform the criminal justice system\, banning private prisons and detention facilities in California\, as well as pushing to eliminate cash bail in the state. He has led statewide fights for racial\, economic\, and environmental justice and worked to further the rights of immigrant families\, renters\, and working Californians.  \n  \nPrior to serving in the Assembly\, Attorney General Bonta worked as a Deputy City Attorney for the City and County of San Francisco\, where he represented the City and County and its employees\, and fought to protect Californians from exploitation and racial profiling.  \n  \nBorn in Quezon City\, Philippines\, Attorney General Bonta immigrated to California with his family as an infant. He is the son of a proud native Filipino mother and a father who taught him the value of public service to his community. He is married to Mia Bonta\, and they are the proud parents of three children Reina\, Iliana\, and Andres.  \n  \nBlaine Bookey \n \nBio: \nBlaine oversees strategic litigation\, policy and advocacy\, and research on behalf of refugees and asylum seekers\, as well as provision of technical assistance and training to attorneys across the country. Blaine also teaches courses in human rights at UC Law SF.  \n  \nPrior to joining CGRS\, Blaine served as a law clerk to the Honorable Dolores K. Sloviter of the Third Circuit and as a fellow with the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux in Port au Prince\, Haiti. Before law school\, she worked as an immigration paralegal for several years.  \n  \nRichard Boswell \n \nBio: \nProfessor Boswell joined the full-time faculty at UC Law SF after teaching as a visiting professor in 1990. He received his B.A. in Urban Economics from Loyola-Marymount University in Los Angeles and his J.D. from the George Washington University National Law Center where he was a member of the Journal of International Law & Economics. He was in private practice and later joined the faculty of the George Washington University National Law Center where he founded the law school’s immigration clinic and directed their Trial Practice Program. Working his way west\, he joined the law faculty at the Notre Dame in 1986.  \n  \nProfessor Boswell has written extensively in the field of immigration law and is the author of more than 11 books and more than 17 articles. His major books include Immigration Law & Procedure: Cases and Materials (5th ed. 2018)\, Refugee Law & Policy: a Comparative and International Approach (5th Ed. 2018) (coauthored with Karen Musalo and Jennifer Moore) and Essentials of Immigration Law (5th ed. 2020). He has testified on numerous occasions before congressional committees and is a frequent lecturer on immigration law both nationally and internationally. Most recently he has served as Special Master for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California in Catholic Social Services\, et al. v. Napolitano\, a class action involving the 1986 immigration amnesty.  \n  \nAs one of the founders of the Clinical Education Association\, he served as its President in 1994. He served as coeditor-in-chief of the Clinical Law Review for 5 years (1997-2002) and remains as an ex-officio member of its Board of Editors. The Clinical Law Review is a peer reviewed law journal of the Clinical Legal Education Association (CLEA)\, the New York University Law School and the Association of American Law Schools (AALS). In addition to his work in clinical legal education\, Professor Boswell has worked on rule of law/justice projects in Central Asia\, Colombia\, Guatemala\, Honduras\, Palestine\, Panama and Venezuela and most recently in Haiti. His current scholarly work involves a comparative study of the immigration laws of more than seven countries covering a broad range of legal systems.  \n  \nJennifer Chacón \n \nBio: \nJennifer M. Chacón researches issues that arise at the nexus of immigration law\, constitutional law\, and criminal law and procedure. Her writings elucidate how legal frameworks on immigration and law enforcement shape individual and collective understandings of racial and ethnic identity\, citizenship\, civic engagement\, and social belonging. She is the co-author of the immigration law textbook Immigration Law and Social Justice\, now in its second edition\, and the co-author of Legal Phantoms (Stanford University Press\, 2024)\, which explores how the past decade’s shifting immigration policies have shaped\, and been shaped by\, immigrant communities and organizations in Southern California. She has written dozens of articles\, book chapters\, and essays on immigration\, criminal law\, constitutional law\, and citizenship issues. Her research has been funded by the Russell Sage Foundation\, the National Science Foundation\, and the University of California.  \n  \nProfessor Chacón is a past Chair of the American Association of Law School’s Section on Immigration\, and of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Rules Committee.
