Originally established in 1982 as the Latin American Bar Association (LABA) of Nevada, our organization was established to connect attorneys of Latino heritage and other attorneys in the State of Nevada.  Though activity waned in the years that followed, the organization was revived in 1995 under a new name, the Las Vegas Latino Bar Association. 

 

The LV LBA was founded as a network of predominantly Latino attorneys and judges in Southern Nevada. In 2021, the LV LBA expanded to include Latino attorneys and judges across the state, and the organization was renamed to the Nevada Latino Bar Association.

 

The organization's purpose remains the same: to serve the public interest by cultivating the science of jurisprudence, promoting reform in the law, facilitating the administration of justice, advancing the standing of Latinos in the legal profession, preserving the high standards of professionalism among Latino attorneys, and cooperating with other professional and community organizations in furthering the aforementioned purposes.
