Hispanics for a Fair Judiciary (HFJ) was formed in April 2005 in order to provide Hispanic leaders across the nation a platform and voice in matters related to our nation's judicial system. HFJ is an unaffiliated, non-partisan, independent network of elected officials, legal, civil rights, labor, academic and political leaders who care deeply about the impact that the Supreme Court has on the Latino community.
HFJ seeks to increase awareness about the historic role the judicial branch has played in impacting Latino community and is dedicated to promoting the nomination and confirmation of diverse, qualified judicial nominees who understand our community and support equal justice for all.
