The Summer Law Institute was a life changing experience for me. I wouldn’t have found what I want to do for the rest of my life without it.”

HNBF’s Access Law Summit
The HNBF’s Access Law Summit aims to increase the diversity in corporate legal departments and at AmLaw100 firms. It is a unique program that invites first-year Latinx law students at top law schools to hear from both in-house counsels and AmLaw 100 lawyers on a variety of topics that will give them a competitive edge when applying for jobs.
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.
