Sitting Down with Sofia Winograd: The Significance of the Houston Law Review

In the first episode of Season 6, we chat with Sofia Winograd, the current Editor-in-Chief of the Houston Law Review. Sofia takes us through her background from growing up in Mexico City to deciding to go to law school. She shares some great tips on how she found success in her law school experience and explains why she decided to join the Law Review, ultimately stepping into the EIC role.

Sofia opens up about how being EIC has been both what she expected and a bit different. We also talk about the strong community that Law Review creates and how the Houston Law Review makes a real impact on legal scholarship, even getting cited by the Supreme Court! Plus, she gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming article on Texas Senate Bill 17 and shares her vision for the future of the HLR. 

Tune in for a great conversation!
