Palm Beach County Hispanic Bar Association
The Palm Beach County Hispanic Bar Association serves both as a professional organization for Palm Beach County lawyers. It provides attorneys with networking opportunities. It also advocates for members of the Hispanic community to have the opportunity to serve in the judiciary, and seeks to help those who are intimidated by language barriers in Small Claims Court. The organization also identifies pro bono opportunities for its members.
The Hispanic population grew by about 58 percent from 2000 to present in Palm Beach County, reflecting a growing need for services and representation, both in court rooms and on the bench. The PBCHBA also seeks to assist young lawyers joining the Bar.
