The University of Texas School of Law has graduated more Hispanic and African-American students combined than any other top-20 law school in the United States. Many of the school's more than 1,300 Hispanic graduates work at the highest levels of the bar and government, in state and federal judgeships, in public interest work, and in the national media. Graduates include prominent Texas attorneys Carlos Cadena and Gus Garcia. The law school also hosts the permanent office of the Texas-Mexico Bar Association and has been nationally recognized for its pre-law educational centers in primarily Hispanic communities. The school also has established ties with Latin America through student and faculty exchanges and cooperates with UT-Austin's Long Institute for Latin American studies. Its student group, the Chicano/Hispanic Law Students Association, has 120 members and is one of the largest Hispanic law-student organizations in the nation. The student-run Texas Hispanic Journal of Law and Policy recently celebrated its 10th year with a conference that garnered national attention.
