Ole Miss's LLASA program started only in 2018, and the organization has grown to 15 very active members. The number of Latino lawyers is very low in Mississippi, but it is increasing based on the growing population of diverse law students. HNBA has a duty to provide guidance to upcoming Latino lawyers - and that includes discussing the challenges posed by law school and the opportunities available even to those on untraditional paths.

Ole Miss's LLASA program started only in 2018, and the organization has grown to 15 very active members. The number of Latino lawyers is very low in Mississippi, but it is increasing based on the growing population of diverse law students. HNBA has a duty to provide guidance to upcoming Latino lawyers - and that includes discussing the challenges posed by law school and the opportunities available even to those on untraditional paths.

Specifically, the curriculum for this event built off the successful programs on Grit and Growth Mindset at the national level and delved into concepts of executive presence, cultivating leadership skills, and what it means to be authentic in organizations where Latinas remain underrepresented at all levels. Additionally, this event created a forum for women to exchange experiences, share advice and best practices, and expand their network.

The event covered a discussion with 3 panelists, who shared their career-related lessons learned from the most recent 2008 financial crisis, and how those might apply to the COVID-19 crisis. They provided tips on how to manage this time wisely and pro-actively through virtual networking opportunities, as well as how students and young attorneys can broaden their skills/interests in order to be a more adaptable intern/associate/new hire in the future.

This event represented the interest of Hispanic legal professionals because of its timely focus on the pandemic and it’s near- and long-term impacts on hiring/retaining students and recent grads. Although so much remains unknown about how the pandemic will change the legal landscape, we wanted to assemble speakers who could share their personal experiences and observations from the most recent economic crisis, the ’08 recession. We believed the event accomplished its goals of 1) offering personal insight on what may be in store 2) instilling confidence that, like in ’08, YLDers can get through this and still kick-off successful careers and 3) providing practical solutions on how YLDers can wisely spend this time, e.g., by expanding and strengthening their networks, learning how to be adaptable for future employers, and more. This event supported the HNBA mission of providing professional training/development to its members.

This event was intended to support the Chicano Hispanic Law Students Association at the University of Texas School of Law. Deputy RP in Austin, Juan Alcala (partner at Holland & Knight) was primarily responsible for organizing this event. In addition to serving as a mentoring/pipeline event for Hispanic law students, we also used it as a recruiting event for new HNBA members in Austin. We also invited affiliate members of Austin Hispanic Bar Association. We also had UT law professors in attendance who were curious about HNBA and our work.
Dean Farnsworth of UT Law School made introductory remarks.

$810.00
Deputy RP Juan Alcala and I conducted roundtable discussions with the law students to talk about challenges of law school and career paths. All of the students expressed gratitude for HNBA's presence and we had a lot of follow up from students seeking mentorship. We encouraged the law students to become individual members of HNBA and asked CHLSA to become an affiliate of HNBA. We had tried last year to get CHLSA to become an affiliate member, but due to internal issues, they did not pursue the opportunity. CHLSA members who attended the barbecue also attended our Annual Conference in New York and Juan and I touched base with these students. They are asking Juan and I to perhaps speak at their end of year banquet.

This program is at the heart of what the HNBA stands for because it mentors students and creates a strong pipeline of our next generation of HNBA leaders. It also promotes the success of Latino students in the legal profession, not just during law school, but after graduation. Great relationships are formed. The success of the program is in part reflected in the students who participate in the program and later come back to serve as mentors to pay it forward.

We will introduce many HNBA opportunities to the students through the topics of networking and mentorship in order to engage more students in the Region XIII division. We are in a rebuilding phase of gathering more HNBA involvement in our region, so we hope to pass out the "Welcome Packets" in order to promote the HNBA and encourage students to become members as well as encourage them to actively participate. We would also like to note that we would like to use a local Latina vendor for our food, and for that reason it is slightly more expensive than it would be to order other types of food.

This event announced the launch of a fund that would help raise bond funds for Orange County residents in immigration detention. Studies show that unrepresented detained immigrants are able to demonstrate their eligibility for relief from deportation only 6% of the time, while those with lawyers succeed more than ten times as often. Ensuring due process for all and protecting families from the fear of having their parents taken away indefinitely fits squarely with the HNBA's advocacy of issues facing 58 million Latinos in the US.

The NMHBA Law Camp is a pipeline program for diverse middle school students from across New Mexico. The purpose of the program is to encourage diverse students to pursue higher education and careers in the legal profession.
U.S. District Court Judge James Browning and state district court Judge Cindy Leos presided over the two mock trials that the students put on.
NO
The event did not benefit a specific HNBA program. However, it is an important educational pipeline program aimed at increasing diversity in the legal profession.
The total cost of Law Camp varies but is typically between $10,000 and $15,000. The HNBA provided a meal sponsorship for the students in the amount of $350.
The New Mexico Hispanic Bar Association's Summer Law Camp is specifically designed to encourage and inspire diverse students, and specifically Hispanic students, to pursue higher education and legal careers. The long-term goal is to help improve the diversity of the legal profession.

I facilitated the resumption of the historic partnership between HNBA and HBA-DC for Advocacy Day by drafting an MOA through which HBA-DC agreed to sponsor a reception and recruit advocates (a firm was identified for a reception but the reception was canceled). Advocacy Day was coordinated by The Raben Group with a session on 02/27/18 (followed by reception at McDermott) and the congressional visits the next day. I lead a team to advocate before mostly Democratic congressional offices.
