Hispanic students at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University thrive in an academically stimulating environment made richer through the dedication of its administration, faculty and staff. Students have many opportunities to learn about the law, practice and demonstrate their skills and talents, launch productive careers and become rooted in the community. The College's Hispanic faculty members provide role modeling and a diverse curriculum, and a varied collection of practical experiences await Hispanic students via a well-established Clinical Program, including the accomplished Immigration Law and Policy Clinic. The new, innovative North American Center for Transborder Studies at ASU provides opportunities for Hispanic students to take interdisciplinary courses at the intersection of law, immigration and national identity. An active Chicano/Latino Law Students Association facilitates involvement in student life and creates welcoming paths for participation in the Hispanic National Bar Association moot court competitions. A pilot HNBA mentoring program, and close ties with the undergraduate student organization, El Concilio, and the local Hispanic bar association, Los Abogados, also benefit students. From pre-law to post-graduation, ASU prepares law students to be successful community leaders and professionals.
