Prof. Sokol Appointed to Chair Hispanic National Bar Association Law Professors Committee

Professor D. Daniel Sokol has been appointed the inaugural chair of the newly approved Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA) Law Professors Committee. "It is a great honor to serve in this capacity and build bridges among law professors, students and practitioners. I thank HNBA President Peter Reyes for pushing this initiative forward. Like many HNBA members, I am an immigrant to the United States. Spanish was spoken at home. Next year I celebrate my 20th anniversary as a naturalized U.S. citizen. Hopefully Congress will work hard on immigration reform to give others the same opportunities afforded to me," Sokol stated. There are over 200 Latino/a law professors teaching at U.S. law schools.
