"Local roots". ''The Union City Reporter''.

Esther Salas ’94 – First Latina on New Jersey District Court" ). Rutgers School of Law. accessed July 28, 2011.〕 At the age of five, she, her mother, Aurelia Salas, along with her siblings, moved to Union City, New Jersey, where they lived on 27th Street, and later, 15th Street and Bergenline Avenue. Though she lost contact with her father when she moved from the West Coast, she would later reconnect with him during the course of the background check she underwent upon being appointed a federal judge. Growing up indigent, Salas recalls having to translate for her mother at the Welfare office, and later helping friends with various problems facing their lives, an activity that led to her pursuit of a career focusing on human services. Salas attended Emerson High School, where her extracurricular activities included cheerleading.〔 After graduating high school in 1987, she attended Rutgers University, where she dormed on campus, and was active in clubs and activities. Salas graduated from Rutgers in 1991 with her B.A., and in 1994 from Rutgers University School of Law in Newark with a law degree.〔〔 She credits her success during her education and during her later professional life to the Minority Student Program.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Esther Salas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
