San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association Mission Statement: Formed in 1979, with a handful of Latino attorneys, San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association (SDLRLA) has grown to represent over three hundred Latino and Latina lawyers practicing in San Diego County. SDLRLA is one of 18 affiliate bar associations of the California La Raza Lawyers Association, which serves several thousand Latino lawyers practicing in the State of California.
Our purpose is to advance the cause of equality, empowerment and justice for Latino attorneys and the Latino community in San Diego County through service and advocacy. We are dedicated to promoting diversity on both the bench and bar. We support law students with mentorship programs and scholarships. Our members include current and former state and federal court judges, magistrates, referees, law professors, State Bar committee members, county bar board directors, government officials, elected officials, lawyers practicing in all specialty areas and law students.
Specifically, the goals of the Association are to:
• Increase the overall number of Latinos in the legal profession; • Encourage and support Latino and Latina judicial candidates to apply to the bench; • Advocate for the promotion and retention of Latino and Latina attorneys and judicial officers; • Improve the professional skills of our members through our certified MCLE programs; • Provide for the professional and social interaction among our members and other organized bar associations; • Improve the delivery and access of legal services to the county's Spanish speaking community; • Provide role models and mentoring to Latino youth through direct interaction with students and school districts; and • Strongly advocate positions on judicial, economic and social issues to political leaders and state and local bar associations that impact the Latino community.

Federal Criminal Defense Attorney
1010 Second Ave., Suite 1850 San Diego, CA
Telephone:
619-237-0309 Fax: 619-237-8052
A National Practice Devoted To Complex Federal Criminal Defense And Other Federal Matters.
• Mr. Cortez has devoted his practice to federal criminal matters and the federal courts since 1984. His legal ability and ethical conduct have earned the highest peer-review rating from Martindale-Hubbell - an AV rating. ("A" rates Mr. Cortez's legal ability as "Very High to Preeminent"; "V" rates his ethical conduct as the highest ethical standard possible). For the past decade, including the upcoming 2007 Edition, Mr. Cortez has been continuously listed in The Best Lawyers In America—a national standard of excellence for the legal profession. This unique professional accomplishment is earned only after an extensive survey of 15,000 leading lawyers throughout the nation to determine the quality of the legal abilities of other lawyers in their individual areas of practice. Mr. Cortez was also listed in San Diego Magazine's "Best Lawyers In San Diego" in the April 2006, 2005 and September 2001 issues as one of only a handful of elite criminal defense lawyers described by the magazine as the type of lawyer that other "attorneys would go to if they needed a [criminal defense] lawyer." As an ambassador for his profession, Mr. Cortez was awarded a Seniors Fulbright Scholarship in October 2003 by the United States Department of State to teach trial techniques to defense attorneys, prosecutors and judges at the University of Concepcion, in Chile.
