Christine Arguello

In September, Judge Christine Arguello (Edu) received one of Harvard Law School’s “Celebration 65 Awards” (65 years of women at Harvard Law) for her outstanding contribution to the legal profession and to public welfare. Christine, a U.S. District Court judge for the District of Colorado, writes that it is an honor to have received the award, especially in light of the fact that prior recipients include such luminaries as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Pat Schroeder. Christine is a previous nominee to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit and is currently a tenured professor at the University of Kansas School of Law. She is a first-generation college graduate and grew up in Buena Vista, Colo.
