New York, October 30, 2013—Latino attorneys should look beyond boundaries of nationality to help all people benefit from the rule of law, said Rolando T. Acosta ’82, associate justice of the New York State Supreme Court, and Pedro J. Martinez-Fraga ’87, partner at DLA Piper in Miami, honorees at the Columbia Latino/a Law Students Association’s (LaLSA) 9th annual Alumni Awards Banquet.
