The HBAPA works hard to meet the goals set forth by its founding members and to expand on their legacy. Today, the HBAPA sponsors and hosts mentorship receptions with area law students and community leaders. It also hosts continuing legal education courses, panel discussions with state and federal judges, and more. With these programs and events, the HBAPA not only addresses the Hispanic community’s concerns and needs, but also joins forces with other minority and affinity bars to ensure their mission of education and promotion of justice is attained throughout all communities. The HBAPA has participated in the International Human Rights Committee, and the Minorities in the Profession Committee, as well as the Governor’s Judicial Reform Commission. The organization also hosted the Hispanic National Bar Association’s 26th Annual Convention in October of 2001. While the HBAPA has had a dynamic history, the future will provide more exciting and innovative ways for it to continue promoting its goals. The HBAPA looks forward to continuing to expand on its history and its impact on the legal community.
