16th ANNUAL LA MANCHA AWARDS
Thursday, October 19 at 5:30 pm
Each year, Casa Cornelia Law Center honors the commitment of outstanding volunteer attorneys, law firms, interpreters, translators, law clerks, and community members whose exceptional dedication furthers the pursuits of Casa Cornelia’s clients and their cases. We look forward to celebrating our collective achievements at the 16th Annual La Mancha Awards!
All proceeds raised, in donations and sponsorships, will fund Casa Cornelia’s programs, which provide crucial legal responses to victims of human and civil rights violations.
