Barristers has been busy! In January, Barristers hosted its first social networking mixer of the year at ProAbition. While Barristers is known for its monthly "happy hours," these social mixers are designed to bring new attorneys together in an informal and relaxed environment. The goal is to provide opportunities to create meaningful connections that can extend beyond the event itself. Many of the friends and connections I have in the Riverside legal community began at a Barristers happy hour!
In February, Barristers volunteered to be scoring attorneys for mock trial. To be completely candid, I had never been involved with mock trial and was not quite sure what to expect. But let me tell you, it is exactly how everyone describes it—a very rewarding experience. I was extremely impressed by the preparation and dedication that these high school students clearly put into presenting their case. If you have not been a scoring attorney for mock trial, I highly recommend it. You won’t regret it!
In March, Barristers (and their family and friends) had a day out at Disneyland! Treats were eaten, rides were ridden, shows were watched, Disney characters were met, laughs were had, memories were made, and, most importantly, friendships were formed! This is really what Barristers is all about! Keep an eye out for our next outing, like wine tasting.
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.
