This week’s podcast
guest is Judge
Margarita Lopez
Torres, a judge for
the Kings County
Surrogate’s Court.
Judge Torres
talks to host Victoria
Schneps about
growing up in
Brownsville after
emigrating from Puerto Rico and
becoming a lawyer after spending
many years as a teacher.
She was inspired by the Civil
Rights movement and Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. during her formative
years and felt that interest in
the law could help people who were
seeking equal rights.
“I saw the difference that a
judge could make in a family’s
life,” Torres said. “I wanted to be
one of those judges.”
Judge Torres talks about what
has made her successful.
Guests on the “Power Women”
podcast share their secrets to
success.
