Let us tell you about the great time we had last week's California Law Academy Support Network (CLAS) Summer Institute.

Hosted at the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law (@PacificMcGeorge), the institute is a summer event for high school teachers overseeing the California Law Pathways programs around the state. @CaLAWpathways

Not only was CLA in attendance - our CEO and Executive Director, @Oyango, also provided a brilliant keynote addressing the impact of school teachers and mentors on the career potential of young people.  

We are honored and thankful to have been a part of this momentous and meaningful day. Just look at how much fun we had!

California Lawyers Association recognized long ago that attorneys suffered and had few outlets to vocalize their need for help. Once we provided a platform to shine a bright light on the importance of putting one’s health and wellness first, we normalized conversations like suicide, asking for help, and supporting each other.

A huge thank you to the one and only @tvmarksallen and @ABC10 Sacramento for normalizing arguably one of the most pressing conversations of our time.

Together, we WILL.

Krill, @DC_Bar, and the CLA Wellness Committee (Sara Rief; Layla Khamoushian @TheLaylaKamm; Paul Cambio; Dee Dee Dickey; Greg Dorst; Jala E. @missjlaE; Katy Goshtasbi , JD @KatyGoshtasbi; Michelle Harmon; Erin Joyce @ErinJoyceLaw1 ; Dominika Wlodarczyk Kriozere; Gary M.

We heard Sabrina Green, CLA's Chair loud and clear. Now is always a good time to try something new.

So yes, we are taking a quick #brand break to try something new! And who doesn't love #vintage scenes like this?

Although we will go return to the brand you are used to seeing because #marketing, we love being challenged to engage in new ways!
