The Latino American Law Students Association (LALSA) was established to provide personal, aacademic and professional support for Latino and Latina law students at Loyola. LALSA is committed to community service, intellectual development, and to the dissemination of Latino cultural heritage through many events including the annual Pachanga night and Cesar Chavez Day in conjunction with the university-wide celebration of Unity in Diversity Week. LALSA is also involved with events throughout the year to create networking opportunities with area law schools, Latino associations and the Hispanic National Bar Association.
LALSA is a founding member of the new Illinois Latino Law Students Association, which is a coalition of the nine Hispanic and Latino law students organizations in Illinois law schools. ILLSA hosts an annual Latino Law Forum, which brings together Illinois Latina/o judges, attorneys, and law students, as well as law professors and law school admissions officers, to encourage young Latina and Latino high school and college students to attend law school.
