The Latin American Law Student Association (LALSA) aims to foster an environment conducive of awareness and appreciation for all things concerning the racial and culturally diverse aspects of the many nations that fall under the Hispanic/Latino umbrella. As such, LALSA is open to any member of the WashULaw School community who wishes to immerse or further understand the Latino culture. LALSA also aims to serve as a home-away-from-home for Hispanic and Latino students who are moving to the Midwest.
