About Us
Formed in 1979, with a handful of Latino Attorneys, San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association (SDLRLA) has grown to represent over three hundred Latino and Latina lawyers practicing in San Diego County.
In 2006 SDLRLA established a Scholarship Fund to assist deserving young law students who lack financial resources and who demonstrate excellent academic merit and community involvement. The fund strives to promote diversity in the legal community. This past year the Fund was involved in awarding 11 law students with $10,000 in scholarships. The Fund hopes to move ahead with its fundraising efforts and we are counting on you for your support. The emphasis of this fundraising will be to secure monies to enhance or help students complete their legal education. As we all are aware of, there have been cutbacks in school funding and yet the cost of a legal education and books continues to rise. Please remember that our law students are our future and they are worth our investment.
