17TH ANNUAL UVALDO HERRERA NATIONAL MOOT COURT COMPETITION
MARCH 28-31, 2012
JERSEY CITY, NJ
The Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA) invites you to its Third Annual Midyear Corporate Counsel Conference. This gathering provides a unique setting to connect Corporate America and the HNBA, offering opportunities for outside counsel to meet counsel from numerous Fortune 500 Companies. Participants are encouraged to take advantage of the many invaluable educational and networking programs provided throughout the conference. In parallel and in conjunction, the HNBA will conduct its 17th Annual Uvaldo Herrera National Moot Court Competition which brings together law students from the nation’s top law schools with its co-sponsor of the competition, the HNBA Legal Education Fund. The Moot Court enables law students to hone their brief-writing and oral advocacy skills while exploring a complex legal issue, and to form relationships with judges and practitioners.
