Harvard Law
Review Elects
Priscila Coronado
’23 as its 136th
President
The Harvard Law Review
has elected Priscila
Coronado ’23 as its 136th
president. Coronado succeeds
Hassaan Shahawy ’22.
“Priscila is a rigorous scholar
and a passionate advocate. From
the start, she has impressed her
fellow editors with her remarkable
intelligence, profound humility, and
deep commitment to service. Her
values represent the very best of the Review. I cannot wait to see what
Volume 136 will achieve under her inspiring leadership,” says Shahawy.
Coronado was born and raised in Downey, California, a suburb in
southeast Los Angeles. The youngest daughter of two Mexican immigrants,
Coronado became the first in her family to attend college. She graduated,
magna cum laude, from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in
three years, earning a B.A. in English with college honors, departmental
honors, and Phi Beta Kappa. Coronado was the Community Advocacy
Program coordinator at the Disability Rights Legal Center before beginning
her J.D. She is also a member of La Alianza and First Class.
“Hassaan’s intellectual prowess and humility are unmatched. He was
given the unenviable task of guiding the Review through an unpredictable
and challenging year, but he served Volumes 135 and 136 with grace. I will
do my best to follow in his footsteps and build on the work he did this year,”
says Coronado.
