Raul Sanchez, Esq.

Is second-generation Mexican-American born in the U.S., who still speaks fluent Spanish as one of his first languages, the other being English. Raul was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. Raul received a B.A. in Politics from Princeton University in 1979 and went on to complete his Master’s Degree in Latin American Studies at
 
Stanford University and a law degree from Harvard University, where he was one of the first students in that institution’s Human Rights Program.

After law school, Raul clerked for the first female justice on the Colorado Supreme Court, Justice Jean Dubofsky, before working for the Ford Foundation funding human rights groups in Mexico and Central America from 1987-91. He then worked for several years as a securities lawyer for a very large Wall Street law firm in New York City before returning to the classroom as a law professor at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas.

Raul and his wife moved to Idaho four years ago to take positions at the University of Idaho in Moscow. During that time, Raul was Special Assistant to the President for Diversity and Human Rights. He said "My job was to help make the U of I more diverse and diversity-friendly." One of his greatest accomplishments was developing a diversity plan for the UI. Currently, he is a Visiting Professor of Law at the U of I's College of Law. He has published a number of law review articles and has been a contributing author for books on human rights and international environmental law. He is currently working on law review articles related to diversity in public universities, based on his experiences at the U of I.
