Latinx Law Student Association (LLSA)
The Latinx Law Students Association (LLSA) at UCI Law is an all-inclusive organization that is open to any student, regardless of racial or ethnic identification. As law students at the only public law school in Orange County, an area in which the largest ethnic minority group is Latinx, it is important to address the many issues that affect Latinx people within our local community and beyond.
We seek to empower Latinx law students by:
Building community among UCI Law Latinx people;
Promoting academic and professional support, fostering community and coalition building, encouraging mentorship and networking relationships, and community service through participation in Pro Bono projects;
Creating safe spaces for AfroLatinx, AAPI Latinx, First-generation Latinx, Indigenous Latinx, Lawtinas, Undocumented and DACA Latinx, and LGBTQIA+ Latinx folks;
Recruiting Latinx people to UCI Law;
Encouraging the hiring of more Latinx people to the UCI Law faculty;
Exposing non-Latinx folks to issues affecting our community;
Combating prejudicial discrimination based on race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin, socio-economic background, religious affiliation, disability, or immigration status.
