HNBA/Walmart Latina Commission Leadership Academy

The Center for Women in Law, along with the HNBA Latina Commission and Walmart, jointly presented the Leadership Academy. Modeled after the the Women in Law Institute, the Center’s signature student program, the Leadership Academy is designed for Latina law students and Latina lawyers with less than 5 years of experience. This all-day, intensive workshop featured expert presentations on the essential skills for navigating a successful career in law: effective communication, self-promotion, and networking. Following each lecture, participants worked in small groups led by distinguished practitioners (3:1 ratio) to perfect these skills through practice and individualized critiques in a supportive environment.
