3 HNBA S STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS The HNBA s strategic and innovative partnerships with corporate America have developed co-branded programming to deliver mentoring, education, training, and other valuable services to the Hispanic community. HNBA/MICROSOFT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW INSTITUTE (IPLI) In 2013, in partnership with Microsoft, the HNBA launched this intensive immersion program for Latino law students interested in intellectual property law, including patents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Through a highly selective application process, the HNBA and Microsoft select 25 students from across the country, who are offered an allexpense paid trip to Washington, DC for seven days. During IPLI, students are provided with substantive instruction from top IP law practitioners, trips to various governmental agencies to observe first-hand U.S. IP institutions at work (e.g. the U.S. Patent Office), and the chance to meet leading members of the IP legal community in private practice and in the highest level of government who will serve as mentors and potentially provide pathways for future job opportunities. HNBA/METLIFE NETWORKING & MENTORSHIP PROGRAM Part of the Su Futuro programs and initiatives, the HNBA/ MetLife Mentorship Program pairs HNBA lawyer members and affiliate bar organizations with Latino law students at law schools throughout the country. Since its inception, we have launched the HNBA/MetLife Mentorship Program in cities nationwide. This important Program has paired over 500 students with mentors in the last four years, and provides law students and young lawyers with the contacts that they need to navigate the system and have successful careers. HNBA/WALMART AND HNBA LATINA COMMISSION Founded in 2008, the HNBA Latina Commission was created to bridge the achievement gap for Latinas in the legal profession. The HNBA Latina Commission is dedicated to promoting the advancement and development of Latina women through a series of educational, leadership, mentoring, and training programs. In 2013, the HNBA Latina Commission entered into an exclusive partnership with Walmart to further the work and initiatives of the HNBA Latina Commission, including the HNBA/Walmart Latina Leadership Academy, launched during the 2014 HNBA Annual Convention in Washington, DC. Since this partnership, the Commission has provided information and services to more than 2,500 Latinas. HNBA SIGNATURE EVENTS HNBA ANNUAL CONVENTION In September of each year, some of the most influential Hispanic lawyers, leaders, elected officials, judges, and law students in the country convene to participate in this three-day mega convention that offers cutting-edge continuing legal education (CLE) sessions, which qualify for CLE credits in all U.S. jurisdictions. They feature practitioners and leading experts from across the country, addressing legal trends on a wide range of topics. Among other highlights, the Convention features: a Judicial Forum, which offers discussions on topics of interest to members of the judiciary and the lawyers that appear before them; the General Counsel Roundtable; programming by the HNBA Latina Commission, the only national entity focused exclusively on removing barriers to the advancement of Latina lawyers in the legal profession; the HNBA Corporate Board Training Series, which aims to provide substantive training to ensure Latino representation on corporate boards; the nation s largest Career Fair for Hispanic lawyers and law students; and the Youth Symposium, designed to expose high school students to legal careers. In 2015, the HNBA offered cutting-edge Cybersecurity training. In 2016, the HNBA will provide programming to train future leaders in government and business. HNBA CORPORATE COUNSEL CONFERENCE Every March, this three-day conference focuses on the interests of legal professionals working in corporate legal departments and the law firm attorneys who advise corporations on litigation, regulatory and transactional matters. Programming includes top-notch continuing legal education (CLE) panels, General Counsel Roundtable with prominent GCs from Fortune 500 Companies, and receptions featuring high-profile speakers, including public officials, judges, and in-house counsel. Key elements of the CCC include the Annual Uvaldo Herrera National Moot Court Competition, which brings together over 30 teams of Latino law students from the nation s top law schools to argue a case currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. The HNBA is honored to have the HNBA Judicial Council actively involved in the planning of this event. The HNBA also offers the Business Development Institute which refines and enhances the programs previously offered under the Speed Networking and Corporate Connection Program. The goals of this institute are to provide coaching for lawyers seeking to establish substantive working relationships with corporate in-house counsel in a position to offer work to HNBA members, as well as training for our corporate in-house counsel members to continue moving up the ranks in their respective corporations. The Business Development Institute also features high-level Corporate Board Training and networking opportunities.

In a series of seminars conducted around the country, HNBA volunteers provide information on homeownership and foreclosure prevention in English and Spanish. Specialists from Sponsor financial institutions are present to answer questions and review participants mortgages to determine whether assistance can be offered to help lower interest rates or payments, or offer any other assistance or programs available to make mortgages more affordable. HNBA SU NEGOCIO PROGRAM: ASSISTING LATINO SMALL BUSINESSES This program is designed to empower Latino small business owners at all stages of business formation, funding and expansion. Latinos are the fastest-growing minority group and Latino enterprises represent the fastest-growing segment among U.S. small businesses. In partnership with partner companies, local Hispanic Chambers of Commerce and community organizations, the objectives of Su Negocio are: 1) Provide prospective and current Latino small business owners with pro bono access to legal information; 2) Provide written materials, including forms and educational pamphlets in English and Spanish, to be used for educational purposes, including How To seminars; 3) For those qualified, provide the opportunity to apply for funds to start or expand their businesses; and 4) Provide metrics, including tracking the number of those assisted, the scope of said assistance, and the overall impact of the program. HNBA SU FUTURO PROGRAMS ASSISTING LATINO STUDENTS The HNBA s Su Futuro Programs were created to affect all aspects of the educational pipeline from elementary school through graduate school. Through a unique combination of programs and initiatives, the HNBA is focusing on students of all ages in order to ensure that the pipeline of Latino lawyers stays strong and vibrant. LEF LEAP PROGRAM HIGH SCHOOL LAW CAMPS In 2013, the HNBA Legal Education Fund ( LEF ) launched its Legal Education Action Program ( LEAP ). In partnership with institutions of higher learning, the LEF selects high school students to attend law school classes and lectures, and to participate in a mock trial competition. The students also have the opportunity to engage in networking opportunities with lawyers, judges, business leaders, law professors and others enhancing their understanding of the rule of law and learning about careers they can pursue with a law degree. LAW SCHOOL SÍ SE PUEDE (LSSSP) LSSSP is a four-year, college student mentor program that aims to advance inclusiveness in the legal profession by equipping students for their journey to law school and beyond. The program is designed to prepare college students from diverse backgrounds to become highly qualified applicants for admission to the nation s best law schools. Each student is a member of a group that is traditionally under-represented in the legal profession. LSSSP is inclusive, not exclusive, since it is not limited to students of color. Rather, LSSSP encourages low-income students, students of color, and first-generation college students to apply. LSSSP has four key components: 1) Three-person Mentor team (overseen by a judge presiding over a Court in the region of the student s residence); 2) Exposure programming to cultivate soft skills, such as cultural competence, emotional intelligence, and networking skills; 3) Skill-building programming to develop hard skills, such as logical reasoning, writing, and critical analysis skills; and 4) LSAT preparation, including extensive preparation and training. LA PROMESA EN EL DERECHO (THE PROMISE IN THE LAW) La Promesa is a community outreach and education initiative designed to instill confidence and trust in the U.S. legal system. The HNBA has published a bilingual booklet that provides explanations at the 9 th grade reading level of ten basic features of the American system of government. A digital copy of the booklet can be downloaded from the HNBA website.
