Covington Sponsors Hispanic Bar Equal Justice Awards Reception

November 6, 2015

As in past years, Covington sponsored the Hispanic Bar Association of DC’s (HBA-DC) Equal Justice Awards Reception. Covington attorneys José Arvelo, Tony López, Kassandra Maldonado, and Clovis Treviño attended the event, which honored individuals and organizations that have made exceptional contributions to the DC-metropolitan Hispanic community in the areas of equality, cultural respect, social justice, and/or the legal profession. Close to 300 DC-area judges, attorneys, policy makers, and law students attended. The honorees were Alfred Baltazar Baca, former Sr. Trial Attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices; Mónica Palacio, Director of the D.C. Office of Human Rights; Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington; and Marina A. Torres, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

Covington is proud to have been a sponsor of this year’s event and looks forward to continuing its support of HBA-DC and its mission, which includes the advancement of Latinos in the legal profession and the promotion of equal justice and opportunity for all Latinos. José Arvelo serves on HBA-DC’s Board of Directors.
