Barristers is staying busy this term! In February, Barristers hosted a social networking mixer at Hangar 24, and it had a fantastic turnout. It was wonderful to reconnect with familiar faces and meet some new ones as well. Needless to say, the event was a great success. Whether you are looking to network, make new friends, or simply connect with other new attorneys, the Barristers mixers provide the perfect opportunity to do just that.
In March, Barristers participated in the University of California, Riverside, Womxn in Law’s Networking Dinner. At the event, Barristers had an opportunity to share their experiences with UCR students aspiring to pursue a career in law. But it was not just about offering advice and answering questions; it was about providing encouragement to help students achieve their goals. Barristers is incredibly fortunate to have so many judges and attorneys who generously volunteer their time and expertise. Through this event, Barristers was able to pay it forward to the next generation of attorneys.
Speaking of attorneys volunteering their time and expertise, in April, attorney Eugene Kim of Stream Kim Hicks Wrage & Alfaro, PC presented a free CLE to Barristers entitled “Should I fake it till I make it?” During the presentation, Mr. Kim spoke to Barristers about challenges new attorneys face and how to conquer them. I may sound like a broken record, but it is this sense of support that truly makes practicing in Riverside such a rewarding experience.
