Tickets for the April 14 banquet of the University of Wisconsin Law School’s Legal Education Opportunities Program (LEO) will be sold from noon to 2 p.m. in the Law School atrium each weekday from March 19 to April 9 (not including the week of spring break, April 2-6).
Tickets cost $20 for students and $35 for non-students.
The Honorable Hiram E. Puig-Lugo, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin Law School’s Class of 1988, will be the keynote speaker for the 38th annual banquet, which will take place at the Madison Concourse Hotel.
Judge Puig-Lugo joined the Superior Court of the District of Columbia in 1999 after serving as a trial attorney for the United States Department of Justice and a public defender in Washington, D.C.
He received a special recognition award from the Department of Justice for prosecuting inmate abuse in a Puerto Rican prison facility in 1998, and received the D.C. Courts Hispanic Heritage Celebration Committee Legal Community Award in 1996 for his service to the Latino community.
The UW Law School’s annual LEO Banquet gathers past, present and prospective students to reconnect and celebrate the achievements of the Legal Education Opportunities program and its diversity initiatives at the Law School. This year’s event is being organized by the Latina/o Law Student Association.
