In healthy times, our police, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, licensed healthcare workers, and corrections/probations officers assume risks to protect our San Diego community in ways that often go unrecognized.

California Rule of Professional Conduct and ABA Model Rule of Professional Conduct 5.4 feature a number of prohibitions designed to preserve the professional independence of lawyers, including prohibiting the sharing of legal fees with a nonlawyer, forming a partnership with a nonlawyer (if any of the activities of the partnership consist of the practice of law), and practicing in a business structure in which a nonlawyer owns any interest in the business or serves as a corporate director or officer.
The NLD brings together a community of new lawyers who can relate to the struggle of learning the ropes while managing self-expectations.
Did you know that the San Diego County Bar Foundation is the SDCBA’s “sister” organization, a stand-alone 501(c)(3) with its own separate Board of Directors? The Foundation strives to provide access to justice by investing in sustainable results and advocacy for people and communities in our region that are impacted by poverty, abuse, and discrimination. It strengthens the profession by providing lawyers the opportunity to contribute to the quality and benefit of San Diego County.

But as my obligations increased over the years with working full time and a busy family life, I started to see journaling every evening as yet another pressure-filled, time-consuming chore rather than a healing opportunity, and abandoned the practice.
