We would like to invite all of our alums to
the 7th Annual Cruz Reynoso Social Justice and Judicial Extern
Fellowship Dinner. This year marks the 40th anniversary since
the founding of our association. We are celebrating this accomplishment
with our theme "40 Years of Progress." Please consider joining
us for our event, as we would love to make this a celebration
of our rich history and community!
Thanks to the vision and generosity of alumni,
law firms, and other supporters, La Raza Law Students Association
is realizing its dream of creating a sustainable fellowship
to support Latina/o students interested in public interest
law. This year La Raza Law Students Association is pleased
to announce that it will be awarding two fellowships: the
Cruz Reynoso Social Justice Fellowship and the Cruz Reynoso
Judicial Externship Fellowship. Our organization will continue
to support Latina/o students interested in public interest
law as well as financially support a Latina/o student pursuing
an unpaid judicial externship. By adding a judicial externship
fellowship, we hope to increase the number of Latina/os in
the judiciary.
With your help, our fundraising efforts have
been successful. Our first year, we raised over $40,000. Since
then, we have raised over $30,000 each year. In 2006 we endowed
the Cruz Reynoso Social Justice Fellowship. Our current goal
is to raise enough funds to endow the Cruz Reynoso Judicial
Externship Fellowship.
Last year the Honorable Cruz Reynoso presented
Ms. Oriana Sandoval the CRSJF award and Ms. Franchesca Gonzalez
the CRSJ Externship award. The fellowship enabled Ms. Sandoval
to spend the summer working at the Center for Race, Povery
and the Environment in San Francisco, CA, where she worked
as a law clerk, focusing on global warming issues. This work
included legal research and writing, community organizing,
outreach and education with stakeholders in the Central Valley,
and involvement in Clean Air Act litigation in the Central
Valley. Ms. Sandoval is currently the Co-Chair of the La Raza
Law Students Association. The externship fellowship allowed
Ms. Gonzalez to work for the Honorable Michael Nash, the presiding
judge of the juvenile courts of Los Angeles. Ms. Gonzalez
is currently the Recruitment Chair for the La Raza Law Students
Association.
