The Secret Lives of Yale Latino Law Students: Fall 2008
Latinos at Yale are envied for their success at striking a balance between work and the world outside of the Sterling Law Building. They are not your typical law students. This is a piece of how they did it last semester.
After convincing 1Ls that Dean Koh isn't going to come after them for putting down the CivPro book on a Saturday afternoon, LLSA feeds them so much food in the annual potluck to welcome 1Ls that they practically roll home. Most of the stuff pictured is made from scratch (except for the ironic cartons of Chinese rice next to the sangria):
On Halloween, some members of LLSA get creative. Check out the following picture of Tomas as Millhouse. Who are those two ravishing future Supreme Court Justices next to him? I can't tell...
Some members of LLSA are known to sneak away on weekends to influence the lives of Latino law students nationwide. The second guy from the right in the picture below is David Perez, who was elected President of the National Latino Law Students Association in the fall. This picture was taken at the annual conference, which was held this year in Albuquerque, New Mexico (LLSA sent three representatives, two of which are currently serving on NLLSA's board):
Other members of LLSA prefer to spend their time chillin' with some old friends. Sergio's boy Bill stopped by Woolsey Hall. I'm going to show some LLSA alumni some love here: check out former Co-Chair Elvira Castillo sharing her encyclopedic knowledge of bachata of Bill Richardson. I'm not even going to comment on Marisol's picture; la envidia me mata:
LLSA is heavily involved in organizing and promoting the dominoes league at YLS. The Big Six Social Club is part game, part Caribbean cultural experience and it is BIG. The end of the year tournament, Sabado Rojo, turned the whole cooperative vibe at YLS into a trash-talking infused debacle that was easily the most fun anyone has ever had by matching pieces on a table. The first picture is the scene during the early rounds, featuring a celebratory Andres Idarraga right before Ligia and I dropped like 200 points straight on him. The second picture features the champions holding the red dominoes next to the runners-up holding the black ones. Good work, Sergio and Tomas. Way to keep the championship in the Big Six Bullies' side.
