The Latino Law Student Association (LLSA) seeks to promote viable changes within existing legal institutions in order to develop constructive legal and community programs, produce competent and effective Latino and Latina attorneys, and utilize available resources. These developments are necessary to safeguard and advance the rights and opportunities of all oppressed people. To fulfill these goals, LLSA recruits for the law school. LLSA also is involved in the initiation of a course on immigration and naturalization law that affects all racial and ethnic groups. LLSA recognizes that national unity is fundamental for the collective awareness that is needed to bring about progressive policies in legal education. The association encourages all students to maintain an open mind and join LLSA.
