We are Latinx students interested in the law: ranging all the way from education and immigration to international relations and business. There is no undergraduate pre-law degree on the Stanford campus, so we provide a forum through which undergraduates can learn more about what the legal field and law school is like.
Our Purpose is:
To hold a space for latinx students by latinx students who are interested in law school and/or the legal field
To connect folks with learning and experiential opportunities in the legal field
To demystify the law school process and bring forward resources
To provide support and mentorship to each other
Why join?
