The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors recently appointed Miguel Márquez ’96 as county counsel. He had been serving as acting county counsel since July, when his predecessor joined the Obama Administration. Márquez, previously an assistant counsel in the 59-attorney office, has worked on such issues as elder abuse, childhood obesity, and federal benefits for the disabled. Along with the San Francisco city attorney’s office, Márquez recently secured Medi-Cal coverage for children in the juvenile justice system to receive psychiatric care. Prior to joining the county, Márquez served as general counsel for the San Francisco Unified School District.
