The Latin American Law Students Association was established to
promote increased awareness of current issues, legislation and
court decisions affecting the growing Latino/a communities in the
United States. Its attention is also geared toward disseminating
valuable information from regional and national organizations, such
as the Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA); the Puerto Rican
Legal Defense and Education Fund (PRLDEF); and the Puerto Rican Bar
Association (PRBA). These organizations provide a valuable support
network for Latino/a law students, which may lead to mentors,
summer positions, scholarships and post-graduation employment. The
Association presents informative panel discussions in a variety of
legal fields, provides networking opportunities, and most
importantly provides a support system, which can lead to a
successful career in law school as well as in the legal profession.
