The Denver Post: As a teenager, Jennifer Gutierrez Marquez sat in federal immigration court in Denver translating the proceedings from English to Spanish to help her undocumented parents along their path to becoming permanent U.S. residents.

Now, the 25-year-old University of Denver graduate student frequents those same courtrooms, hoping the research she’s contributing to helps many more on their immigration journeys.

Gutierrez Marquez and three of her peers are research assistants under DU professor Rebecca Galemba, documenting what goes on during immigration court proceedings in Denver and at the Aurora detention facility as part of the Court Transparency Project.
