    About the GLLF

    The GLLF was created in 2015 to intentionally and substantively support Latinx pre-law and law students in Georgia. The GLLF’s mission is to increase diversity in the legal profession by supporting the Latinx legal community pipeline, and increase the Latinx community's access to the legal system by educating and empowering Latinx students to join the legal profession. The GLLF’s vision is to provide a pathway to success for Latinx students interested in the legal profession through pre-law education, mentoring, and substantive legal experience opportunities. By equipping them with the necessary tools, preparation and relationships, we seek to encourage our students to enter the practice of law and to guide them successfully through law school and beyond.

     

    Now entering its fourth year, the GLLF has provided mentoring opportunities to over one hundred law students and awarded well over $50,000 in fellowships to Latinx law students who have worked at Georgia non-profits for the summer. To learn more about the GLLF, please visit us at www.galatinolawfoundation.org.
