The organization supports students in defining their own paths to social impact, whether through public interest law, international human rights organizations, or global legal practice. Located in Boston, Massachusetts, the association connects Latin American law students with resources, mentorship, and career pathways that reflect Northeastern Law's commitment to idealistic pragmatism and world-changing legal practice.
