Jorge, along with his fellow panelists from the Commission, urged legal professionals to collaborate for equal opportunity and to address challenges faced by the growing Hispanic community. Their updated report highlights that while Hispanics make up nearly 20% of the U.S. population, they only represent 6% of the legal profession.

“This isn’t a Hispanic problem,” Jorge explained. “This inequality is an American problem. Sometimes as Americans, we think democracy is just like the air we breathe, that it’s a right that we can have forever, no matter what. And that’s not it. All these issues that we’ve been talking about today are truly an American problem. And if we don’t solve these issues, how are we going to have the democracy that we all believe in?”

The ABA’s Hispanic Commission on Legal Rights And Responsibilities focuses on developing and supporting initiatives and research to educate lawyers on how best to serve, promote civic responsibility within, and address the key legal challenges facing Latino community in the United States.

Jorge A. Mestre engages exclusively in a commercial-litigation practice and is Board Certified in International Litigation and Arbitration by The Florida Bar. He has litigated domestic and international arbitration matters in both English and Spanish.
