OUR HISTORY

MORE THAN SIXTY YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE PUERTO RICAN AND LATINO COMMUNITY

(PRBA) was founded in 1957 by a group of Puerto Rican and Latino attorneys who began gathering socially to offer one another both personal and professional support in an era when it was difficult for attorneys of color to be accepted as members in established bar associations.
