From Cuba to the top of the bar. Chicago-Kent law professor to lead immigration lawyers’ group. Carlina Tapia-Ruano

“A photograph of the future president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association shows a young Carlina Tapia-Ruano with her sister, holding the Cuban flag in one hand and the American flag in another.

“It is my favorite photograph,” Ruano, an adjunct law professor at the Chicago-Kent College of Law at 565 W. Adams St., said recently. “It shows if a little immigrant girl from Cuba can make it, anyone can.”

Ruano came to the United States from Cuba when she was 5.”
