UNLV La Voz

La Voz is the Latino Law Student Association at the William S. Boyd School of Law in Las Vegas, NV, dedicated to empowering and promoting the success of law students from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession. Operating within one of Nevada's most innovative law schools, La Voz serves as both an educational and cultural instrument for students, faculty, and staff while actively connecting with the broader Latin and Hispanic community.

The organization is nationally recognized for its flagship Huelgas program, an award-winning mentorship initiative that creates meaningful connections across multiple educational levels. Huelgas pairs local J.D. holders with Boyd law students, undergraduate students, and high school students to provide comprehensive mentoring and support. This innovative four-tier mentorship model demonstrates La Voz's commitment to fostering professional development and academic success among aspiring legal professionals from underrepresented communities.

Beyond its mentorship programs, La Voz functions as a unifying organization that bridges the gap between the law school and the broader Las Vegas community. The association provides networking opportunities, cultural programming, and educational resources that enrich the law school experience while promoting diversity and inclusion within the legal profession. Operating from the state-of-the-art William S. Boyd Hall facility, which features modern classrooms and collaborative learning spaces, La Voz leverages the school's exceptional resources to support its members.

The organization's multifaceted approach to student support includes fostering professional interactions, facilitating community connections, and creating pathways for success in the legal field. La Voz members benefit from the Boyd School of Law's renowned programs, including its nationally-ranked alternative dispute resolution center and comprehensive legal writing curriculum. Through its integrated approach combining mentorship, community engagement, and professional development, La Voz continues to make a significant impact on legal education and community service in Las Vegas.
