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
Angela Hollowell-Fuentes the CRSJF award. The fellowship enabled
her to spend the summer working at the Immigrant Legal Resource
Center in San Francisco where she worked on immigration and
asylum law. Ms. Hollowell-Fuentes is currently the co-chair
for 2007 Cruz Reynoso Fellowship Dinner.
