R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, For more than three decades, the Chicano/Hispanic 
Law Students' Association (CHLSA) has provided a vital support 
system for Hispanic students attending The University of Texas Law 
School; and

also holds the distinction of being one of the largest Hispanic law 
student groups in the nation; and
	WHEREAS, All areas of the Lone Star State are represented in 
CHLSA's diverse membership, with each student bringing a 
distinctive vision to the organization; the group offers its 
members the chance to partake in a number of worthy programs, 
including 10 Interns/10 Clerks, which encourages Hispanic students 
to seek judicial internships in the hopes that participants may one 
day become law clerks and judges; and
	WHEREAS, In CHLSA, students find a network of talented and 
ambitious peers who may further enrich the academic experience at 
UT by providing unique perspectives in all aspects of law school 
life; and

the Hispanic community in Texas, CHLSA continues to improve 
opportunities and provide an important voice for its members; now, 
therefore, be it
