Since September 2002, the EBLRLA has organized gala dinners in Downtown Oakland to award scholarships for Latina/o and Latinx law students in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
Additionally, our Galas have honored Latinx judges and provides an opportunity for the local legal community to come together, support, and celebrate future Latinx lawyers.
2015’s Gala was held on February 5, 2015, a sold out event. The generous donations of our attendees and sponsors allowed us to award 3 scholarships to very deserving Latina/o law students!
