We are delighted to share the success of our recent 2025 Building Futures Event, celebrated on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at The Denver Museum of Nature & Science.

This celebration brought together our Fellows, Alumni, Mentors, Board Members, Sponsors, and supportive community, highlighting our continued dedication to fostering and developing a strong pipeline to diversity in the legal profession.

Our keynote speaker, Denver District Attorney John Walsh, delivered an inspiring address that emphasized the vital role of diversity in the law and the transformative impact of our program. His message deeply moved attendees and reinforced our commitment to empowering underrepresented students.

The event also featured our LSYWC Alumni and 2025 Harvard Law School Graduate, Noah Spicer. Noah delivered a heartwarming and inspiring speech.

We are profoundly grateful to our sponsors, board members, and LSYWC community supporters, whose support made this event possible. Their contributions are crucial in helping us expand our reach and impact.
As we look forward to our next decade of celebration, we are committed to continuing our mission of building a diverse pipeline of future legal professionals.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in this celebration. We are shaping a brighter, more inclusive future for Colorado’s legal field.

Honorable Christine M. Arguello Judicial Portrait Unveiling

"This portrait will hang on the wall of the Alfred A. Arraj courthouse for years to come. It is a memorialization of the fact that the American Dream is alive and well and available to everyone in this great country of ours. It is my hope that people who come into this courthouse, especially children and young people, as they walk down the corridor and look at the portraits of past judges will be inspired. Inspired in the sense that when they see my portrait they will think to themselves - there is someone who looks like me. Hey, maybe I too can someday be a judge. It is my hope that my portrait will inspire them to not be afraid to dream big dreams even if those dreams seem beyond reach. And I guarantee you that no one, not even I, ever thought that the life journey of little, shy Christine Martinez, neither of whose parents graduated high school, would one day reach this pinnacle."

“Sí, Se Puede” is a phrase born of farmworkers, who, under the leadership of the UFW, César Chávez, and Dolores Huerta, fought valiantly for equal protection under the law.  As a result of the efforts of the UFW, “Sí, Se Puede” has become well known as a call that engenders hope and inspiration in those who face similar battles. We thank the UFW, whom we acknowledge to be the sole and exclusive owner of the Trademark SI SE PUEDE, for granting us a limited license to use“Sí, Se Puede” in connection with our efforts to recruit, in Colorado, students of Hispanic or Latino descent for our law school pipeline program. For more information about the programs offered by the UFW, please see UFW’s webpage (www.ufw.org); UFW Foundation’s webpage (www.ufwfoundation.org); and UFWF’s immigration services webpage (www.sisepuede.org)
