Future Latino Leaders Summer Law Institute in Washington DC
The Future Latino Leaders Law Institute is a nine-day program run by the HNBF in Washington, DC and provides selected Latino high school students with the opportunity to learn more about the legal profession. Established by the HNBF in 2005, the Law Institute offers students the chance to come to DC and learn more about the college application process, meet influential Latino leaders, and tour national monuments and various government agencies.
After this experience, I am now connected to a network of Latino leaders. The camp has strengthened my decision to pursue a career in the legal field by showing me more possibilities and pathways than I knew of before.”

HNBF’s Access Law Summit
A successful company’s greatest asset is its people. Today’s workforce and marketplace represent a dynamic mix of cultures, races, ages and genders. For companies to succeed in the global economy and be responsive to demographic shifts they must attract and retain skilled employees with different experiences and backgrounds
The HNBF’s Access Corporate America Law Summit aims to increase the diversity in corporate legal departments. It is a unique program that invites first-year Latinx law students at top law schools to hear from corporate lawyers on a variety of topics that will give them a competitive edge when applying for jobs.
