Canadian Hispanic Bar Association (CHBA), U of T Chapter

CHBA U of T Law Student Chapter aims to cultivate a strong community of students who identify as Latin American diaspora at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. The club is a space where those of similar cultures, interests, and barriers of entry into the legal profession can share their experiences, establish mentorship relationships with like-minded people, and foster a sense of belonging. CHBA U of T strives to promote Latin American excellence and advancement in the legal profession. Our group enjoys close collaborative relationships with the umbrella organization, the Canadian Hispanic Bar Association, as well as other CHBA chapters at law schools across Canada.

Activities

CHBA U of T helped to organize the first ever CHBA Chapters Launch and Celebration in September 2023, which consisted of a series of panels and a networking event hosted at U of T Faculty of Law. This meet-up of the CHBA chapters is now an annual event, hosted at Lincoln Alexander Law School in 2024. CHBA U of T gives back to the community through participating in career panels and fairs intended to encourage and demystify legal careers for undergraduate Latin American students. We also host internal social events and attend socials with the CHBA lawyers, which are great networking opportunities.
