It's official! On January 23, 2025, the 2024-2025 Barristers Board was officially sworn in by attorney Ted Stream at the annual RCBA Installation Dinner. The Barristers Board would like to give a big THANK YOU to Ted for being the Barristers Board installing officer. And on a personal note, I have worked with Ted for almost 20 years, including 8 years as his legal assistant (before and during law school), and now, going on 7 years as an attorney. Needless to say, over the many years working with Ted, I have gained invaluable experience and knowledge about the practice of law—for which I will be forever grateful! Thanks, Ted!
The Barristers Board is also officially halfway through the 2024-2025 term. This means nominations for the 2025-2026 Barristers Board are just around the corner. In order to be nominated for next term's Board, you must: 1) be a Barristers member (i.e., an RCBA member in good standing who has been in practice fewer than seven years and/or is younger than 37 years of age), and 2) have attended at least three Barristers events in the 2024–2025 term. If you have any questions about Barristers, nominations, or being a member of the Board, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to share my experience and answer any question you may have.
Interested in being a part of the 2025-2026 Barristers Board, but have not been able to attend three Barrister events this term? Don't worry! There's still time. Here are some of our upcoming events:
If you have an idea for Barristers or are interested in joining one of the Barristers' committees (CLE, social, or community outreach) for the 2024-2025 term, I encourage you to contact me or any of the other Board members. I can be reached at 951-783-9470 or summer.devore@streamkim.com.
