About the Conference
This conference, organized jointly by the Latin American Law Students Associations in Metropolitan New York and New Jersey, will be a positive catalyst for the constellation of social and racial awareness in the legal profession. While the Latino population in the United States continues to grow, this growth is stalled in many critical areas of the legal profession. There has not been a proportionate increase of Latino law students or law graduates. Few law schools have Latino professors. Major legal organizations and law firms lack Latino leadership. These daunting truths are enormous obstacles, but no match to our commitment and dedication to our community. This conference will address the consequences of underrepresented Latinos in the legal community—providing students, professors, and practicing attorneys an opportunity to collectively discuss and strategize means by which Latinos can impact the legal world.
Keynote Speaker: The Honorable Jenny Rivera, recently appointed to the NY State Court of Appeals.
