Tulane University

The 2011 Conference theme, ‘€œCrossroads: Changing Faces in New Beginnings,‘€ recognizes the moment where a new culture full of color and life enters a community in the time of growth and recovery. This theme highlights the many contributions being made by Latinas/os in the rebuilding efforts taking place in New Orleans, which is itself a reflection of an increasingly diverse nation undergoing its own transformations. With this in mind, the topics presented at the Conference will prominently focus on immigration reform, education reform, workers‘€™ rights, and Latinas/os in the judiciary, among others. The Conference will be an opportunity to unite various sectors of the legal profession to understand and tackle these urgent issues.

• Topical discussions and workshops addressing legal issues affecting the Latino community
• Panel discussions offering strategies to succeed both during and after law school
• Networking events and opportunities to enjoy the city‘€™s cultural sights and vibrant nightlife
• A community service event giving attendees a chance to make a positive contribution to the lives of Latina/o students in New Orleans
