Dear TMSL Law Student,

The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Law Student Chapter #4900 is planning an extraordinary event on Saturday, April 11, 2009 at the Ripley House: the LULAC LEGAL CLINIC!

Our LULAC LEGAL CLINIC will provide free legal services at a one-day clinic targeting the Latino community of Houston, Texas regarding immigration law, criminal law, property law (including housing and landlord/ tenant issues), employment/ labor law, and family law issues.

We will be interviewing 1Ls, 2Ls, & 3Ls for the following positions:

VOLUNTEER COORDINATORS- Non-attorney Volunteers
VOLUNTEER COORDINATORS- Attorney Volunteers
Volunteer Committee Members

We are looking for outgoing, professional, organized team-players who will take the lead in recruiting attorney and non-attorney volunteers (law students, translators, etc.) from the community.

Interviews will occur on Thursday, February 26, 2009 from 12 p.m. - 3 p.m. You may sign up online at the HLSA TWEN page for your 15-minute time slot.

We expect this event to be to be heavily publicized, to garner the support of the community, and to be co-sponsored by multiple community organizations, including TMSL Hispanic Law Student Association.

Sincerely,
