Welcome to the official 2024 United NYC Half Marathon Page for Team Dominican Bar Association!
The Dominican Bar Association is an nonprofit organization of legal professionals and law students, supporting Latino members of the legal profession, particularly attorneys and law students of Dominican ancestry, in their pursuit of higher posts in the legal profession and other facets of influence in the United States. Today there are approximately 1.3 million lawyers in the United States and latinos make up only 5.8% of this figure, despite being the largest ethnic group in the United States.
Our organization also supports the at-large Latino community by:
- organizing pro bono "Know Your Rights" legal workshops for members of the public
- providing scholarships and mentorship to law students and college students
- creating community service events; and
- conducting career information activities for high school students at their schools and developing mentorships with the same, among other initiatives.
Please join us in our collective efforts to elevate our community and help make the legal profession more reflective of the society it serves.
