Lisa Liu and Krista Mitzel
While she was a UC Berkeley undergraduate in the late 1990s, Krista L. Mitzel spent time interning for Sen. Dianne Feinstein in Washington, D.C., where she discovered most things were run by lawyers.
"I was in awe of how things worked behind the scenes," Mitzel said. "Lawyers really had a lot of power to help craft legislation and to work on agenda items. ... I felt like lawyers were touching everything."
