Barristers proudly presented its second annual Judicial Reception on May 9, 2018. Similar to the inaugural event held last year, this year’s event was held at Grier Pavilion, located on the rooftop of Riverside City Hall. The weather, views, and hosted refreshments were enjoyed by all. On behalf of Barristers, I express my gratitude to the beautifully diverse panel of judicial officers, which included Hon. Becky Dugan, Hon. Irma Poole Asberry, Hon. Jackson Lucky, Hon. Sunshine Sykes, and Hon. Jonathan Cannon (Ret.). This year’s theme was “Work-Life Balance on the Road to the Bench.” The panelists offered an array of useful tips and insightful reflections regarding overcoming challenges in life as one pursues a career leading to the bench.
This event was made possible from the tremendous support from the following sponsors: Aitken Aitken Cohn, Rizio Law Firm, Blumenthal Law Offices, Reid and Hellyer, Appleby & Co., Dennis M. Sandoval, P.L.C., Exum Law Offices, First Legal, JAMS, Law Offices of Shauna M. Albright, RCBA, and University of La Verne College of Law.
