Miguel Garcia joined the Rhode Island Center for Justice as a Roger Williams University School of Law Legal Fellow in 2024. He previously taught AP U.S. History in South Texas, and later worked with Misión México, a nonprofit in Tapachula, Chiapas, developing programs for children with special needs. During law school, Miguel represented unaccompanied children in immigration court through the ABA’s ProBAR Project; worked with the Levy Center for Constitutional Studies in Washington, D.C.; and was a Student Administrator for the Street Law program. He also has prior experience in policy advocacy, with a focus on the rights of the criminally accused. He graduated with honors from Roger Williams University School of Law and holds a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Texas – Pan American. He currently works on the Housing Team to protect fair housing rights, and on the Education Team to support equity and access for students and families. As someone who grew up up on the U.S.-Mexico border, Miguel strongly believes that access to justice cannot be a privilege of geography, identity, or wealth. Justice demands dignity, fairness, and equality for all.
