About HOLA
|
|
|
|
|
Hola is a not-for-profit association which was
incorporated recently to create
awareness about the Hispanic
legal community in Ontario,
Canada. We are committed to
bring together Hispanic lawyers
and law students across Ontario
to form a network that
strengthens our community.
With our activities we aim to create a strong
involvement of legal
professionals and students in
building a stronger Hispanic
community in Ontario.
We will create a fund that will be used to provide
scholarhips for Hispanic law
students. We will also establish
a Mentorship Program whereby
Hispanic lawyers can provide
guidance to Hispanic students
and new lawyers .
