“LACBA provides incredible programming, networking and mentoring opportunities to and for all of its members. It shapes the personal and professional development of all of its members. Being involved in LACBA has permitted me to pay tribute to the many lawyers and judges who have helped me in my career and has allowed me to pay it forward, hopefully, by connecting with and inspiring future leaders.”

“My father made it clear to me when I expressed having a career as a lawyer, that it was very important to BE INVOLVED in the legal community! LACBA has been a valuable resource of information, education and opportunities for me – both as a practicing lawyer and now as a judge. It is the main source of information to know what is going on in the local legal community! ”
— Hon. Kelvin D. Filer, Former Attorney and Active Judge & LACBA Member, Superior Court of Los Angeles County in California.
