MISSION STATEMENT
CLS LaLSA strives to promote understanding of the Latino community by sponsoring academic, professional, cultural, social, and community service activities for our members as well as Columbia Law School's general student body.
We are committed to advancing our members' goals by serving as a liaison between them and the Columbia Law School administration, the general student body, alumni, and other professionals in the legal field.
We welcome all Columbia Law School students, faculty, and alumni to participate in our group.
