October 28: Dallas Hispanic Bar Association, LULAC 4871
host bilingual forum to educate community about legal rights


The Dallas Hispanic Bar Association (“DHBA”), in collaboration with
the League of United Latin American Citizens Council 4871 and the
Southeast Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, is hosting a free
bilingual community forum to educate community members
regarding their legal rights in several areas of interest to the Latino
community.

The Conozca Sus Derechos event will be held on Saturday,
October 8, 2011 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Pleasant
Grove Campus of Eastfield Community College located at 802 S.
Buckner, Dallas, Texas 75217. The event is free and open to the
public. Attorneys will discuss the following legal topics:

• immigration,
• criminal law,
• family law,
• foreclosures,
• landlord-tenant law,
• employment rights, and
• consumer rights.

The Conozca Sus Derechos event is a project organized by the Pro
Bono Committee of the DHBA. The DHBA, formerly known as the
Mexican American Bar Association of Dallas, provides a forum
through which Hispanic attorneys in the Dallas-Fort Worth
Metroplex can come together to exchange ideas and to pursue
common goals. The purpose of the Association is to promote the
social, economic, educational, and civic advancement of the DFW
Metroplex Hispanic community by making the legal system more
accessible to the Hispanic community and more responsive to its
needs.
