The HNBA-LSD’s primary purpose is to create opportunities for students to thrive in law school and become successful members of the legal profession. To this end, HNBA-LSD orients its activities and programs around skills development, job placement, and networking. HNBA members are provided with the distinct opportunity to showcase their analytical and oral advocacy skills by competing in the prestigious Uvaldo Herrera National Moot Court Competition. Scholarship opportunities are provided throughout the year. Students can participate in the Intellectual Property Institute, which brings students across the country during the summer to learn about careers in Intellectual Property.

In addition to skills building and employment, the HNBA-LSD promotes the importance of community engagement and advocacy. In the past, HNBA-LSD members have advocated in Washington, D.C. to promote voting rights, immigration reform, and other legislation that affects the Hispanic community.
