La Raza Law Students
Association
Proudly Presents the Sixth Annual
Cruz Reynoso Social Justice & Judicial
Externship Fellowship Dinner
Friday,
April 8th, 2005
6:00-8:30pm
The Hillside Club
2286 Cedar Street
Berkeley, CA 94709
featuring keynote speaker
Jose Padilla,
Executive Director of the California Rural Legal Assistance,
and guest of honor,
the
Honorable Cruz Reynoso,
former Assistant Justice, California Supreme Court,
and
Boochever and Bird Chair for the Study and Teaching of Freedom
and Equality,
at the U.C. Davis School of Law (King Hall).
Thanks to the vision and generosity of our
alumnae/i and other supporters, La Raza Law Students Association
is realizing the decade-old dream of creating a sustainable
fellowship to support Latina/o students' aspirations to practice
social justice lawyering.
With your help, in the first year of fundraising
we raised over $40,000 in pledges and held a delightful dinner
at the law school. The next year, in 2004, the pledged money
and further fundraising totaled $52,000. The Honorable Cruz
Reynoso presented the first Reynoso Fellowship to Patricia
Salazar, who worked that summer for Neighborhood Legal Services
in Los Angeles--focusing on labor rights for low income Latina/o
workers.
The Cruz Reynoso Social Justice Fellowship
funds Latina/o students who choose to engage public interest
work as a summer intern. After reaching our initial endowment
goal of $60,000, we plan to move into the next phase of fundraising.
With the support of our community of alumnae/i and other allies,
we plan to evolve the fellowship into a full scholarship that
will defray the costs of tuition and fund public interest
work as a summer intern. Our long term vision is to build
a fund that rivals the Skadden and Equal Justice Works Fellowship.
