Dear LSYWC Community Members & Supporters,
On Tuesday, December 10th, people from all over Colorado came together to start a wave of generosity. But we can’t stop there.
We are asking that you please consider giving to LAW SCHOOL… Yes We Can | ColoradoGives.org

No matter how much you give, the result is the same - we celebrate the magnitude of good we create together, continue to break barriers, and create opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds to pursue legal careers.

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."
- Hon. Christine M. Arguello
Senior United States District Judge and Founder of LAW SCHOOL... Yes We Can

“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)
