It's Pronounced Like The Letter "H"

Hispanic Business ranks the top ten law schools for Hispanics. SWLAW ranks 8th on the list, which is good but it's also two spots below that other school that's just across the way. I blame it on Brian not being able to pronounce Tijunga correctly. Teach him Karla or Trini or any other cute latinas out there.

It also has a relationship with the global Hispanic community through summer law programs and externships with Mexico and Argentina, student and faculty exchanges, and courses in Latin American laws and institutions.
