Who is Vanita Gupta’s husband Chinh Q. Le?
Chinh Q. Le is the legal director of the Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia.
Legal Aid is a civil service organisation in Washington DC, and is one of the city’s oldest.
The organisation provides legal services to those who can’t afford them.
He has been the director since 2011, and worked in the office of the New Jersey Attorney General before that.
Speaking about his work, he told his alma mater the University of Virginia: “Rather than imposing crushing case loads, we take on fewer matters, but try to litigate them to the highest level we can provide.
“That not only enables our attorneys to develop their legal skills and our clients to receive high-quality representation, but also demonstrates to the courts that the cases we do bring deserve serious treatment.”
He said he has always been interested in public-interest law work.
He said: “It’s what made me want to go to law school, and what wakes me up in the morning and makes me happy.”
When did Vanita Gupta and Chinh Q. Le get married?

“Both of us help each other carve out more non-work time to enjoy life.”

“We’ve also gotten really into this game called Code Names, which I find really fun, and we also play a lot of ping-pong.
“During the summer, we were doing a lot of walks to Carvel, which is around the corner and has some of the best ice cream.”
