          The Orange County Women Lawyers Association (OCWLA) is hosting our Annual SUMMER SIZZLE AND JUDGE OF THE YEAR event this July.  This special summer event brings together over 200 of Orange County’s top legal, judicial and community leaders.  The event is open to men and women and non-attorney guests of OCWLA members and friends.

 

          Charities Benefited.  Proceeds of this event once again benefit many worthy causes, such as El Viento,  the Public Law Center, Orange County’s Collaborative or “problem solving” Courts, and  OCWLA’s bar stipend funds.

þ    El Viento that offers mentoring and educational support to our local community’s needy children.  Last year, we sponsored eight children in this program.

þ    Public Law Center, a non-profit 501(c)(3) group affiliated with the Orange County Bar Association.  It provides free legal assistance for Orange County’s indigent families.  

þ    Collaborative or “problem solving” Courts are specialized court tracks that address underlying issues that may be present in the lives of persons who come before the court on criminal, juvenile, or dependency matters.  These life-changing programs involve active judicial monitoring and a team approach to decision making, and include the participation of a variety of different agencies, such as Probation and health treatment providers.  

þ    OCWLA’s bar stipend funds to benefit law student graduates from OC law schools.  Last year was the inaugural year for OCWLA’s Diversity Bar Stipend Award, joining the Association’s long-standing bar stipend awards program.  In May 2009, we presented three much deserved bar stipends to assist our recipients with their preparation for taking the California Bar Examination.

 

This year our charities need you more than ever!

Come to:

PARTY, NETWORK, and SUPPORT deserving organizations!
