Latinas in the Legal Profession Series
The Latinas in the Legal Profession Series shares and preserves our history by documenting the career trajectories of Latina Lawyers, from the very first Latinas who integrated our law school to those who are just entering our profession. The series aims to increase the visibility of Latina role models and to inspire each of us to proudly create our own unique identity in the legal profession. Our presenters speak not only about their professional careers but also their stories of their life’s journeys, and the impact they have had on others. Every life story shared during the series was a testament to the fact that none of us travels our life paths alone, and that the support and mentorship of others is crucial to fulfilling our greatest promise.
