Remembering Maggi Popkin

Beth Van Schaack

I am writing to express my condolences. I worked with Maggi on a human rights case brought in the US on behalf of 3 clients from El Salvador. Maggi was one of our expert witnesses. She may have won our case for us. I wish you could have seen her on the stand - she was incredible. Absolutely unflappable, even in the face of tough cross examination. She believed so strongly in human rights and the rule of law that nothing could shake her from the truth. The defendants were found liable - the first Salvadoran abusers ever to be held legally accountable. Maggi was a wonderful, warm and gifted woman who did so much for others. She will be missed.
