With immense pride and deep appreciation for the 15-year legacy that came before us, the 2024–2025 MetroLALSA Executive Board had the honor of hosting this year’s Pa’lante Conference on March 8, 2025, at the beautiful Brooklyn Law School campus. This annual gathering represents more than just an event—it is a celebration of the collective strength of the Latinx legal community. From its inception, Pa’lante has served as a platform for meaningful dialogue, mentorship, and collaboration, fostering connections that empower the Latinx?legal minds. Through carefully curated discussions, thought-provoking panels, and invaluable networking opportunities, we came together to uplift, educate, and inspire each other. We are grateful to Brooklyn Law School and their LALSA for their dedication and invaluable support in the planning and execution of this conference. Their commitment to our shared mission was instrumental in ensuring the success of this event—without their hard work and passion, it would not have been possible. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our panelists, moderators, volunteers and generous sponsors, whose contributions of time, knowledge, and resources played a pivotal role in making this year’s Pa’lante Conference a reality. Their willingness to share their expertise and experiences reflects the deep-rooted commitment within our MetroLALSA family and beyond to further our mission. The success of this year’s conference is a testament to the power of community and the unwavering dedication of those who believe in the importance of representation, advocacy, and opportunity. Each conversation, each connection, and moment of shared learning reinforces the impact of our collective efforts in shaping a more representative legal profession. A special thank you to Chief Administrative Judge Joseph A. Zayas for his gracious introduction, setting the stage for an unforgettable keynote. We are also immensely grateful to our keynote speaker, the Honorable Juan M. Merchan, for delivering a powerful and thought-provoking address that resonated deeply with our audience. To everyone who attended, engaged, and contributed—thank you! Your presence and participation made this conference a true celebration of our shared mission. The months of hard work that went into curating every aspect of this event were driven by our desire to create a space that embodies this year’s theme, “Muchas Voces de Una Canción.” We hope that you all felt the power and unity behind those words and left the conference feeling inspired, empowered, and more connected than ever. As we reflect on this incredible gathering, we are reminded that our work does not end here. The conversations sparked at Pa’lante must continue. The relationships formed must be nurtured. The progress we strive for must be relentlessly pursued. Together, we will keep moving forward— Pa’lante! To view more photos: https://lnkd.in/eANbr_YM
