• W368060895 abstract "ABSTRACTPuerto Ricans are the second largest Latina/o national origin subgroup in the United States, but continue to be underrepresented in the legal profession. This article examines existing data on Puerto Rican secondary and post-secondary students, law school applicants, law students, lawyers, academics, and jurists. It describes the education path to a law degree and a legal career, focusing on the barriers to access for Puerto Rican students. This article concludes that the current public educational system and academic programs provided to Puerto Rican students fail to adequately prepare them to compete for admission to law school, and provides recommendations for academic preparation designed to develop a pool of viable Puerto Rican prospective law students and law graduates. [Key words: legal profession, lawyers, minorities, Puerto Ricans, lack of representation]PUERTO RICANS, THE SECOND LARGEST LATINA/O NATIONAL ORIGIN SUBGROUP IN THE UNITED STATES, NUMBER 4,150,862, OR 8.9 PERCENT OF THE LATINA/O U.S. POPULATION (Pew Hispanic Center 2010a: Table 7)1 and are part of the growing Latina/o population in the U.S., which constitutes 15.4 percent of the U.S. population (Pew Hispanic Center 2010a: Table 1). Puerto Ricans residing in the 50 states-state-side Puerto Ricans-are concentrated in the Northeast (55.4 percent), of which the largest number, 1 of 4, live in New York (26 percent) (Pew Hispanic Center 2010b: 1). They also comprise the largest Latina/o subgroup in several states. For example, in addition to comprising 33 percent of New York's Latina/o population, Puerto Ricans constitute 53 percent of Pennsylvania's Latina/o population, 41 percent of Latinas/os in Massachusetts, and 28 percent of Latinas/os in New Jersey (Pew Hispanic Center 2010b: Table 1). In the U.S., approximately 1 out of 11 Latinas/os is Puerto Rican.Puerto Ricans have a long and significant presence in the U.S., and Puerto Rican women and men have lefttheir mark in areas ranging from politics to the arts and sciences (see Ayala and Bernabe 2007; Ruiz and Sanchez Korrol 2006). They have been recognized for their contributions within various disciplines and society generally (see Velazquez 2005; Perez y Gonzalez 2000). Despite the prominence and success of Puerto Rican luminaries such as U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Second Circuit Judge Jose A. Cabranes, and New York State of Appeals Court Judge Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick, Puerto Ricans continue to be underrepresented in a range of professions and policy-making positions, to the detriment of Puerto Ricans individually, the Puerto Rican community, and the greater society (Falcon 2002).The ongoing underrepresentation of Puerto Ricans in the legal profession has pernicious adverse consequences for Puerto Ricans and the greater Latino community, and negatively impacts the fair and just application of the rule of law across communities. Such underrepresentation undermines confidence in the U.S. legal system and Constitution. Moreover, small numbers of legal professionals translates into smaller economic capital in Puerto Rican communities. Without the establishment of a measurably populous Puerto Rican professional class, Puerto Ricans and other Latinas/os arguably have access to only a small number of culturally sensitive Latina/o attorneys to address the needs of the growing Latina/o population.Today, the U.S. legal profession consists of a mere 3.3 percent of lawyers who are Latina/o, with a smaller share who are Puerto Rican (ABA 2009).2 In comparison, the overwhelming majority of lawyers, 88.8 percent, are White, another 3.9 percent are African American, and 2.3 percent are Asian (ABA 2009). Despite these small percentages, Latinas/os have made a significant impact within the legal profession. Puerto Ricans and other Latinas/os are distinguished members of the federal and many state judiciaries, serve on the American Bar Association3 and local bar associations across the U. …" @default.
