Greetings,


In November, we are proud to celebrate Native American Heritage Month at the University of Arizona and the College of Law. I invite you to read the proclamation by UA President Robbins.


We honor the many contributions of our Native American students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community members, including Judge Lawrence Huerta (’53) who, now in his mid 90s, is a lifelong leader to our college and the legal community.


Our world-renowned Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy program (IPLP) is central to our college, and in our current 1L class, we welcomed 13 Native law students—the largest cohort in College of Law history. Your gifts to the Huerta Scholarship provided critical support for these superb students, and we invite you to continue your support this year.


Until the footnotes,


Marc

Support Native Students Attending Arizona Law

Header_Huerta Scholars_GivingTues_161110.jpg

University of Arizona Law and the Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy (IPLP) Program are preparing for another successful #GivingTuesday Huerta Scholarship campaign, taking place November 30, 2021.


This #GivingTuesday, please support the next generation of Native lawyers attending University of Arizona Law by donating to the Huerta Scholarship.


Despite advances, the representation of Native Americans within the legal field remains around one percent, according to ABA figures. But you can help increase the representation of Native lawyers. The Huerta Scholarship is a vital component of University of Arizona Law’s commitment to increasing the representation of Native Americans in the practice of law. Thanks to your support, University of Arizona Law has one of the largest groups of Native law students in the country.


With your support, last year we raised more than $24,000 for Native law students attending University of Arizona Law. This year our goal is to raise $30,000 in support of our Native law students.

Judge Huerta: A Nation-Building Living Legacy


The Huerta Scholarship was established in 2014 in honor of Judge Lawrence Huerta. Judge Huerta, a member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, was the first Native American to graduate from University of Arizona Law (Class of ’53) and be licensed to practice law in Arizona. Throughout his illustrious career, Judge Huerta worked tirelessly to increase access to education for Native students, promote tribal self-determination, and lead Native Nation building efforts.


The Huerta Scholarship provides vital support to Native law students attending University of Arizona Law who are increasing access to education for Native students and championing the rights of Native American communities and individuals. Thanks to the support of Huerta Scholarship donors, Native students realize their dreams of attending law school and continue the living legacy of Judge Huerta.


You can hear the inspiring stories of some of this year’s Huerta Scholarship recipients, get campaign updates, and make a donation on the Huerta Scholarship Crowdfunding page!
