“Education is the key that opens up hidden treasures within”

Did you know that Latinos constitute almost 50% of California’s population, yet less than 4% of California’s attorneys are Latino? To bridge this gap, the HBA Annual Installation Dinner and Scholarship Fundraiser raises funds for the Wallace (Wally) R. Davis Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance to Orange County Latino students who are presently attending law school and who have demonstrated involvement in the Latino Community. The Scholarship Fund was named in honor of Wallace (Wally) R. Davis, one of the first Hispanic attorneys in Orange County. He rose to the highest ranks in the legal profession, co-founding the HBA and championing the struggles of the Latino community. By assisting young Latino law students, this scholarship is awarded to those who would follow in his footsteps.

Eligible students must be of Latino origin, have Latino community and school involvement. In addition, students entering in their first year of law school must posses a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0. while law school students must rank in the top 50% of their class. Priority will be given to students with significant ties to Orange County.

• Three General Law School Scholarships in the amount of $3,250 each
• Two Bar Exam Scholarships in the amount of $529.00 each (may be used for July 2006 or February 2007 exam)
• One 2006 Summer Externship Scholarship up to $4,000 at a legally related, OC based public interest non-profit organization (i.e. Public Law Center, Legal Aid, ACLU, etc.)
