A Note From The President
By: Genoveva Meza Talbott
Hope your summer is going well and despite your busy practices, you're able to set aside plenty of time to enjoy our beautiful California weather.
Next up, the HBA has its Annual End of the Summer Mixer on Wednesday August 24 at The Winery in Tustin. While this event was started by the HBA and traditionally hosted only by the HBA, for the last couple of years, the HBA has opened it up to the affiliate bars to co-host. We did this in part due to the event's established popularity. However, the most significant motivation behind this inclusivity was the need for an event of its kind. Although there is no doubt that the various bar organizations in Orange County are supportive of each other's efforts and causes, there is no event quite like the HBA's Annual End of the Summer Mixer. This is what we are most proud of and perhaps why it continues to be one of our most popular events. Indeed, this year we have an unprecedented number of bar organizations co-hosting! I hope YOU will join us in the celebration.

Wally Davis Scholarship Applications Are Available for Two $7,000 Scholarships!
Did you know that Latinos constitute more than 50% of California's population, yet less than 4% of California's attorneys are Latino? To bridge this gap, the HBA has the Wallace (Wally) R. Davis Memorial Scholarship Fund.
The Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance to Orange County Latino students who are presently attending law school and who have demonstrated involvement in the Latino Community. The Scholarship Fund was named in honor of Wallace (Wally) R. Davis, one of the first Hispanic attorneys in Orange County. He rose to the highest ranks in the legal profession, co-founding the HBA and championing the struggles of the Latino community. By assisting young Latino law students, this scholarship is awarded to those who would follow in his footsteps.
This year, the HBA is proud to announce that we will award $7,000 scholarships to two deserving law students. Students can apply online at http://www.ochba.org/Student_Resources/Wally_Davis_Scholarship.html, or download a PDF copy to mail. Detailed instructions are on our website. The deadline to submit applications is October 31, 2011.
Please help us share this information with as many students and schools as possible. Good luck!

Clients are invited to use Legal Genie on LASOC computers during the clinic, and staff will be available to assist with any questions about the service.
