Happy Mother’s Day!
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. It provides a reminder that mental health is essential and those living with mental health conditions are not defined by their mental health.
Words matter. This week I want to use my words to show my support to the students at University of San Diego School of Law who have felt singled-out and diminished based on another’s words.
As we start making our way out of the pandemic, many are wondering what we will take with us. In particular, the legal community wants to know whether any of the remote proceedings or procedures created during the pandemic will take root and become a permanent part of the practice of law.
Now, I’m no POTUS (…yet…I’m keeping future options open!), but I do want to take the time to mark just some of the accomplishments of the San Diego County Bar Association in the first 100 days of 2021 because of the efforts of our incredible members, volunteers, servant leaders, board members, and staff.
This year’s law week theme is “Advancing the Rule of Law Now” and we’re asking you to reach out to all the K-12 grade students you know to encourage them to submit a poster or video to our law week contest.
The San Diego County Bar Foundation has announced its 2021 Distinguished Lawyer Memorial honorees, which include: Jerry Blank, John Cleary, Judge William Enright, Anthony Medina, Brian Monaghan, and Peter Quon, Jr.
Please join me in congratulating our 2021 SDCBA Service Award Recipients.
It’s time to start feeling the sun on our faces, even as we soak in these uncharacteristic recent rainstorms.
