OLA Raza is a Non-Profit 501 C3. Our Mission: is to provide legal information, education and services to immigrants, students and poor communities.
The organization was founded in 1974 at U.C. Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco by a group of Chicano Law Students. During the first decade of service, OLA Raza increased the number of Public Interest Law Attorneys by assisting thousands of Law School applicants in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Washington and Colorado gain admission to law schools by preparing them for the Law School Admission Test and by providing them with a Summer Legal Studies Institute. OLA Raza Law Graduates participated in its Bar Exam Preparation and New Attorney Placement Project.
In 1978 OLA Raza launched its Community Preventive Legal Education Program as a grantee of the Legal Services Corporation, Washington, D.C. It has provided consultant services for LSC programs in California, New Mexico, Colorado, Georgia, and New York.
OLA Raza's Mission: is to provide legal information, education and services to disadvantaged students and poor communities.
