Welcome
The purpose of the Maryland
Hispanic Bar Association (MHBA) is to serve the public interest by
cultivating the science of jurisprudence, promoting reform in the law,
facilitating the administration of justice, fostering respect of the law
among Hispanics, advancing the standing of the legal profession,
preserving high standards of integrity, honor, and professional courtesy
among Hispanic lawyers, establishing a close relationship among Hispanic
lawyers, and cooperating with bar associations nationally and
internationally and other legal organizations.
|
The Association consists of
lawyers who are of Hispanic descent, or who have an interest in issues
that involve the Hispanic community. The only requirements for
membership are that members must be duly licensed to practice law in any
state of the United States of America, and its territories, that their
bar membership be in good standing, and that they pay a very modest
yearly membership fee.
We are actively involved in
molding the law in Maryland. For example, we become a voice for
the Hispanic community in Annapolis when the legislature is in session.
