The Texas Hispanic Journal of Law & Policy is pleased to announce the upcoming availability of Volume 15 and 16 and the immediate availability of Volumes 13 and 14. The Journal seeks to advance legal scholarship through feature articles, essays, book reviews, and student notes relevant to a national and international audience of legal scholars and practitioners. Our latest issues have inspired the academic community to recognize the importance of Latino legal representation. Volume 14 contains a profile of Nina Perales, Southwest Regional Counsel, MALDEF. The Volume also contains an article by Luz E. Nagle, asking whether criminal gangs in Latin America are the next great threat to regional security and stability. A Spanish article with English translation by Glenda Labadie-Jackson illustrates the dynamics of commercial surrogacy agreements within the Latina community. The Volume concludes with a note by Hayden O'Bryne exploring how recent municipal ordinances prohibiting undocumented aliens from renting housing are incompatible with the federal immigration scheme and are preempted by federal law. Volume 13 contains a Latino Focus recognizing Eduardo Roberto Rodriguez, named Best Defense Lawyer in South Texas in 1998 by Texas Lawyer as well as a note by Daniel Aaron Rochmes, "Blinded by the White: Latino School Desegregation and the Insidious Allure of Whiteness", and an article by Roger Enriquez and John W. Clark, III entitled, "The Social Psychology of Peremptory Challenges: An Examination of Latino Jurors". Volume 12 includes a Latino Focus on Dean Susana Aleman, the first Mexican American to hold the post of Assistant Dean for Student Affairs for The University of Texas School of Law where she has overseen the graduation of 21 classes including over 10,000 law students.

Volume 9 addresses the future of the special relationship between the US and Mexico after September 11, will contain the transcript of the National Council of La Raza Conference in Miami Beach, and will include excellent students notes, a profile of Norma Cantu by State Representative Pete Gallego as well as much more. Volume 8 addresses access issues: 9/11 and what it has meant for Mexico's hopes for increased Mexican immigrant access to American labor markets, the Grutter v. Bollinger college and law school affirmative action case making its way to the Supreme Court, and the Central American issue of indigenous communities and deciding who is "indigenous" for purposes of receiving government protection and support. Volume 7 includes a refreshing array of angles on Latino issues-from a profile of how Raul Yzaguirre became the head of the National Council of La Raza, to the poetry of migrant children in Yakima, WA; from panels on domestic violence, crime, and race relations from this summer's NCLR Conference, to an article on pay disparities in professional baseball.
