Caribbean American Lawyers Association will provide legal education, mentorship
The New York City legal community is very well represented among its local bar associations, whether those be citywide, boroughwide, supportive of a particular legal field or affinity.
However, for years Caribbean American lawyers and jurists didn’t have a bar association of their own. Sure, they could join groups like the Metropolitan Black Bar Association, or perhaps ones similar to the Haitian American Lawyers Association of New York.
That’s all about to change, as a group of lawyers and judges have come together in recent months to form the Caribbean American Lawyers Association (CALA).
