Pasqualle Yamakawa
Dependency Court Mediation Assistance Clinic
While clerking with LCCR’s Dependency Court Mediation and Assistance Clinic, Pasqualle made a meaningful impact helping families work toward reunification after involvement in the foster care system by successfully resolving more than 25 disputes. She also volunteered as a judge for LCCR’s Just the Beginning High School to Law School Summer Pipeline Program during the negotiation competition and mentored new clinic students, in both cases demonstrating leadership and a strong commitment to service.
Pasqualle also exhibited deep sensitivity to the challenges faced by LCCR clients; recognizing that many individuals are in crisis and navigating complex emotional, physical, and financial hardships alongside legal issues, she approached each matter with empathy, professionalism, and care. We are confident that Pasqualle will make an invaluable member of the legal profession and a proud alumna of Loyola Law School.
