Here are a few things that make her one of the most
inspiring people that we have today!
She Knows What She Wants To Achieve
She then served as a public
defender, prosecutor and then moved into private practice, eventually founding also
the Center for Justice. She went on to become the younger lawyer (first woman
and first Hispanic) to be appointed Chief Corporate Counsel for the city ofJersey City, New Jersey, where she oversaw a large legal department, working
with all the city agencies
She Cares For the Society
Though busy with her career, she never forgot where she came
from. A lifelong resident of New Jersey, Karen always found time to give back.
She gave of her time serving on the Boards of nonprofit and community
organizations, and mentored young people. This earned her “Humanitarian of the
Year” by the Bayonne Youth Center, and many other honors for her good work in
the community.
She Aspires To Bring About Change
It was this aspiration that led Karen and David Weiss to
co-found the Institute for Dispute Resolution, which has in its short existence
already contributed to a new law in New Jersey, and sponsored students to
compete in international mediation competitions.
