Greetings NLD!
As the world begins to return to “normal”, we are excited to announce that in-person events will finally resume beginning in August! Some programming will remain remote and/or with a remote option, but for our members who are comfortable, I really look forward to seeing you in person. In the interim, we still have some great virtual programming planned!
Tonight (July 15), NLD is hosting a Summertime Virtual Potluck Celebration. Whether you bring a dish or not, we hope you will join us in sharing some of our favorite recipes. For those who bring their favorite summer dish to showcase, we have an extra treat—you will be entered into a raffle to win tickets to a Padres game!! Register here.
On August 19, join the SDCBA and NLD for the return of our summer social Here Comes the Sun at Waterfront Park! This will be our first in-person event in 17 months! There will be heavy hors d’oeuvres, desserts, a live DJ, a photo booth, a glitter glam face & hair artist, step and repeat, and more! Cash bar. We really hope to see you there! Register here.
On August 26, NLD will present a virtual Court Practice Series seminar on appellate law. This CLE event will feature Administrative Presiding Justice Judith McConnell of the California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division One and appellate attorney Arezoo Jamshidi, Esq., Partner at Haight Brown & Bonesteel LLP. This event is free for members and worth 1.0 general MCLE credit. If you are looking to gain inside tips on how to be successful in the appellate courtroom, register here.
For more tips geared to law students and new attorneys, be sure to read this month’s Tips from the Bar featuring incoming California Lawyers Association president Jeremy Evans, a proud Thomas Jefferson School of Law alum. For law students and upcoming bar exam takers, we also offer Bar Exam Advice from San Diego’s new attorneys who have been in your shoes and understand the struggle. Plus, don’t forget to weigh in on your favorite summer TV shows in this month’s POLL!
I hope you are all enjoying this fantastic summer weather as things finally opening up. I really hope to see you all live and in person at our summer social on August 19, and in the meantime, be sure to follow NLD on LinkedIn and Facebook.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions or suggestions for NLD.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Atkinson
