 MISSION 

The CBA’s Spanish Speaking Lawyers Committee provides a forum where Spanish-speaking legal professionals may develop and broaden the existing Spanish legal resources. We seek to share legal resources which will allow members to effectively represent their clients. We look to increase the level of Spanish proficiency in the Colorado legal system. We strive to identify opportunities for international exchanges between attorneys, judges, and other legal associations. Additionally, we help the needs of the Spanish-speaking communities in order to promote fair access to the legal system through a collaboration of the courts, bar associations, law schools, and other legal service organizations.
