Christina Hines grew up in Warren, Michigan. She graduated from Warren Woods Tower High School, after attending Macomb Community College, she transferred and earned her Bachelor’s from the University of Michigan in 2010. Christina attended Wayne State University Law School, where she served as a leader on Moot Court and the Women’s Law Caucus and graduated in the top 15% of her class in 2014. She interned and worked throughout law school.  

After taking the bar, Christina began working at the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office in 2014.  She worked on almost every type of case in the office - from homicides to robberies, torture and  domestic violence, to drug and firearm cases, but her true passion was working with adults and  children who had been the victim of sexual abuse. From handling hundreds of sexual assault  and child abuse cases in Wayne County, Christina learned the stories of people who had their  lives turned upside down by the trauma they endured. What she discovered was that people were not just falling through the cracks - they were falling into traps. Without safe and affordable housing and childcare, and without access to good paying jobs and healthcare, women and children were being victimized by perpetrators who knew how to take advantage of people.  

In January 2021, Christina became Chief of the Special Victims Unit and Appeals at the  Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office. She’s dedicated her time and resources to  implementing policies to improve community response to sexual assault and prevent these  crimes from happening in the first place. Christina moved Washtenaw County towards engaging  in trauma-informed interviewing, best practices in child forensic interviewing, and provided  dozens of legal training sessions for local law enforcement. At the Washtenaw County  Prosecutor’s Office, Christina also helped to create and implement the Restorative Justice  Program Deflection and Diversion Program which allows offenders and crime survivors to work  through a case with trained mediators outside of the traditional criminal legal system; she  brought the Fair Michigan program to Washtenaw County which investigates and prosecutes  hate crimes committed against the LGBTQ community; and lead the Sexual Assault Kit  Initiative, which investigates and prosecutes cold case sexual assaults. Christina also ran the appellate internship program and helped develop a legal internship program for the office. 

As a prosecutor, Christina has traveled across the country to attend trainings and learn best  practices. She served as a member of Wayne and Washtenaw County’s Sexual Assault Review  Team, the Child Death Review Committee, the Washtenaw County Human Trafficking Task  Force, and the Washtenaw County Cyber Security for Children Task Force. She’s a graduate of  the Prosecution Leaders of Now program at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, which  brings prosecutors from across the country together to discuss criminal justice and leadership. Christina chaired the Criminal Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan. She’s a member of the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan and the Appellate Practice Section of the State Bar.  

Christina was also named a DBusiness 30 in their 30s and a Crain’s Notable Woman in Law in 2022. She’s an adjunct professor at Wayne State University Law School teaching legal research and writing, and she guest lectures at the University of Michigan and Wayne State University.
