Ahora: The Urgency of Now
Saturday, October 2nd from 1:15 pm to 2:45 pm Panelists: Hon. Eva Guzman Rachel Moran Thomas A. Saenz Gerald Torres The Conference theme, AHORA, acknowledges that we must confront the challenges our communities face if we wish to preserve and build on our achievements. These panelists are members of a very unique generation, one that broke countless barriers, while experiencing tremendous hardship. How far have we come since then? What must our generation do to build on their work? How can we unite various sectors of the legal profession to understand and tackle these urgent issues? Hon. Eva Guzman, Associate Justice, Supreme Court of Texas. Justice Guzman has served for over ten years on the Texas bench at every level. She was appointed to the Supreme Court of Texas in the fall of 2009 and stands for re‐election this year. Justice Guzman is an adjunct faculty member at the University of Houston Law Center and was recently honored by Latino Leaders magazine as one of the 101 Most Influential People in the Latino Community. Justice Guzman is a graduate of the University of Houston and South Texas College of Law. Rachel Moran, Dean, UCLA Law School. Dean Moran will be this year’s recipient of NLLSA’s Excellence in Leadership Award. When she starts her deanship on October 15th, Dean Moran will become the first Latina dean of a top‐20 law school. She has had a distinguished career as a faculty member of Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School of Law since 1983, President of the Association of American Law Schools, Chair of the Chicano/Latino Policy Project (now the Center for Latino Policy Research) and as Director of the Institute for the Study of Social Change. Dean Moran is a graduate of Stanford University and Yale Law School. She clerked for the Honorable Wilfred Feinberg, then the Chief Judge of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Thomas A. Saenz, President and General Counsel ‐ MALDEF. Mr. Saenz joined MALDEF as a staff attorney in 1993; he became Los Angeles Regional Counsel in 1996, National Senior Counsel in 2000, and Vice President of Litigation in 2001. At MALDEF, Saenz served as lead counsel in numerous civil rights cases, involving such issues as educational equity, employment discrimination, immigrants’ rights, day laborer rights, and voting rights. Mr. Saenz is a graduate of Yale University and Yale Law School. Mr. Saenz clerked for the Honorable Harry L. Hupp of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, and for the Honorable Stephen Reinhardt of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Gerald Torres, Professor ‐ University of Texas, Austin. Professor Torres is former president of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), and a leading figure in critical race theory, and environmental law. During the Clinton Administration Professor served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and as counsel to then‐U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno. He has been a visiting professor at both Harvard and Stanford law schools. A graduate of Stanford University and Yale Law School, Professor Torres was the recipient of the 2010 Yale Latino Law Students Association Public Service Award.
