The beginning of 1L can be daunting. It's exciting, confusing and potentially a little scary. To ease the transition, our Raza Board hosted a social so the Raza Class of 2021 could meet its 1L professors in a low-key environment. Big shout-out to all the professors that took time out of their schedules to meet their Raza students. Another shout-out to the class of 2021 who took time out of reading and briefing to meet their profs. This is the beginning of another great semester. More events to come- stay tuned.
Association of Latino Marin Attorneys (ALMA) Mixer
As future Latinx attorneys, we appreciate the importance of networking and building strong relationships within the legal field. That is why some of us boarded a ferry for the first time and attended the ALMA mixer on Friday, September 14, 2018. Not only were we able to meet with practicing attorneys in all areas of law but also connected with students from UC Hastings’ La Raza Law Students Association. We bonded over our law school woes and headed out for a fun night in San Francisco. Looking forward to connecting with Hastings students again!
Welcome Carne Asada BBQ
On Saturday, August 25th we hosted our Welcome (Back) Carne Asada and Vegan Cookout to welcome our students both new and returning to the Berkeley Law La Raza community. We had a record number of attendees and were able to introduce our Raza 1Ls to our students but more importantly to the amazing programs/events we have planned for this semester. We bonded over burgers and beer and shared the “wisdom”and advice that was passed onto us from our Raza upperclassmen. Our Raza 1Ls were filled with knowledge and expressed how welcoming and genuine our community is. Our 2018-19 board considers this our first success at building our amazing community for this academic year.
