How can a former juvenile delinquent foster kid make it from the streets to Cincinnati to graduate from Yale University, become a successful civil rights attorney and be the first democratically-elected District Attorney in Alameda County in 100 years?
Pamela Y. Price graduated from Yale with a B.A. in Political Science in 1978. She came to California where she attended the University of Berkeley School of Law and received her law degree and a Masters degree in Jurisprudence & Social Policy in 1982. She was admitted to practice law in California in 1983 and went on to win numerous awards for her service to her community and her trailblazing work as a California Super Lawyer. She is one of a handful of Black women to argue a case before the United States Supreme Court. Pamela is a survivor of the Ohio juvenile justice and foster care systems.
