President's Message
By: Diana Lopez, HBA President
Labor Day is upon us which means summer is almost over and fall and the holidays are ever near. But before we let go of the long, warm days and beautiful summer nights, let's celebrate the Hon. Maria Hernandez at our Annual Judges BBQ hosted at the beautiful home of Bette and Wylie Aitken. If you haven't done so already Register Now!.
We celebrated the End of Summer with about 200 of our closest friends from the affiliate bars of OC Asian American Bar, Thurgood Marshall, OC Trial Lawyers, OC Women Lawyers, OC Jewish Bar, Celtic Bar and Lex Romana. Thank you all for joining us and for making this such a fun event. Thanks especially to our sponsors Calderon Settlement Group and ARC and Mediator Shirley Watkins.
