                         HON. HARRY E. MITCHELL

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Charles 
Calleros on being honored by the State Bar of Arizona for his work in 
mentoring women and minorities. This award, the Committee on Minorities 
and Women in the Law Award, commends Mr. Calleros for his distinction 
and efforts on behalf of minorities and women in the legal field.
  Mr. Calleros, a professor at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law 
located at Arizona State University, is deeply committed to promoting 
diversity in the legal field, both nationally and statewide. In 2005, 
he served as a member of the Minority Affairs Committee of the Law 
School Admissions Council, which strives to achieve diversity in law 
school applicants. In 2007, in collaboration with the Hispanic National 
Bar Association, Mr. Calleros started a mentoring program with the goal 
of reaching out to students before they graduate high school.
  Calleros, who teaches Contracts, International Contracts, and Civil 
Rights Legislation, has been at ASU since 1981. In addition to his 
dedication to ASU, Mr. Calleros has been a visiting professor at 
Stanford Law School and at the University of Santa Clara. Each year, he 
also teaches a weeklong course in American Contract Law and 
International Law at the University of Paris.
  Through all of these efforts, he strives to be a positive role model 
for Valley youth and students, and works to help them reach their full 
educational and leadership potential.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing and congratulating 
Charles Calleros for his valuable contributions to the Phoenix area.
