La Raza Banquet

The last couple of weeks have been devoted to getting ready for the La Raza Law Student Association's annual banquet.  I was the Social Chair and so it fell to me and my co-chair Jessica to put the entire thing together. 

We had it at a Peruvian restaurant in downtown San Jose that is a little mom and pop place but with really good food.  Ticket sales went slow at the beginning but we eventually sold out at 110.  Here are some pics.

The event speaker was Edward Davila who is the only Latino judge on the Federal Court for the District of Nothern California.  He was nominated this year by Barack Obama and was recently confirmed by the Senate in March.

After his speech I had to get up and thank everyone and accept my duties as next year's President of La Raza.  That plus my internship and classes should make for a busy 3L year.  At least it will not be like the saying goes "1L they scare you to death, 2L they work you to death, and 3L they bore you to death."
