Cindy M. Lopez graduated from Loyola Law School and served her entire career at the California Attorney General's Office. She started her career in the Criminal Division in the Appeals, Writs and Trials Section. Ms. Lopez then transferred to the Health Quality Enforcement Section where she represented the Medical Board and other health care licensing agencies, prosecuting doctors, psychologists and other medical professionals in disciplinary proceedings.
Following three decades as a Deputy Attorney General and several years in leadership in the college access nonprofit space, Ms. Lopez founded Legal Education Access Pipeline (LEAP) to build access to law school education for groups that are underrepresented in the field. In her experience in the sector, Cindy observed that the demand and need for such programming far outpaced existing offerings. LEAP provides key experiences, connections, and a meticulously designed curriculum that will help students excel in their law school applications, in law school, and later on in their legal careers. LEAP is now in its second year, and is proud to report that close to 90% of our fellows who applied to law school for Fall 2021 have been accepted to law schools across the country.
