National Latina/o Law Students Association

The National Latina/o Law Students Association (NLLSA) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation serving as a national conduit for Latina/o law student voices. Founded on principles of social, ethnic, racial, gender and sexual equality, NLLSA is focused on advancing the personal, professional, and academic success of Latina/o law students, as well as their commitment to community service. NLLSA is fueled by a progressive coalition-building approach to addressing the legal issues affecting Latinas/os around the nation. NLLSA is the national umbrella Organization for all of the individual Latina/o and Hispanic law student associations from the various law schools from across the nation. With over 180 law school chapters in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada, NLLSA continues to be the leading center for law student resources, dialogue and action. We are committed to encouraging student-led encuentros, conferences, and other engagements which allow Latina/o law students to cultivate community with each other. We aspire to inform, excite, and empower generations of Latina/o law students so that they may be knowledgeable, responsible, and impactful legal professionals who are responsive to the legal needs of the communities which surround them.
