Jennifer Lydia Crespo is a graduate of Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law. The daughter of immigrants from the Philippines and Puerto Rico, Crespo’s perspective is informed by her unwavering commitment to fierce, fair advocacy. Crespo’s work with the Medill Innocence Project helped exonerate a wrongfully convicted man, and that experience prompted her pursuit of a career in law.

After earning her law degree, Crespo assisted immigration clients with ob- taining asylum in the United States. She joined frontline attorneys at O’Hare International Airport in January 2017 to combat the travel ban targeting Islamic religious groups. While working with her immigrant clients, Crespo learned about scams that disproportionately affect immigrant communities and non-English-speaking consumers. This led her to the Office of the Illinois Attorney General where she served as an assistant attorney general in the Consumer Fraud Bureau.

Today Crespo is general counsel of the Illinois Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission where she investigates claims that torture was used to obtain confessions leading to criminal convictions.
