“Working hard, handling difficult cases, and working late hours — sometimes staying up until 3:00 in the morning to make sure a trial is fully prepped — is completely worth it when you know you’re making a difference in someone else’s life,” says Deputy District Attorney Malak Behrouznami.
Klinedinst CEO and former SDCBA president Heather L. Rosing recently received the National Conference of Bar Presidents (NCBP) Fellows Award for her exceptional work within the legal community. During her 26 years of practice, Rosing has not only paved the way for female attorneys in private practice but has also developed a nationwide reputation for her skills and legal experience.
Dear Members,
It is a privilege to serve as Chair of the SDCBA’s New Lawyer Division along with Vice Chair Stephanie Pengilley and Members at Large Sara Gold, Heather Daiza, Elijah Gaglio, and Hannah Theophil.
Greetings NLD,
It has been a pleasure serving this community as chair of the New Lawyer Division! One of the NLD’s primary goals is to serve as a voice for the NLD membership while providing information and resources based on our community’s unique and specific needs. New this year, we conducted a few member surveys in order to shed light on real issues affecting our community, including civility towards new lawyers and new lawyers’ acclimation to the post-pandemic workplace. Please take two minutes to complete our current poll on lawyer-targeted scams so that the NLD can report on how this issue affects new lawyers and law students.
“Mentorship and sponsorship are vital to a successful career. Mentors and sponsors have traveled the road to success and can provide valuable insight — ‘Don’t make the same mistakes I did.’ Having said that, we all make mistakes and a mentor or sponsor can be there to help you recover.”
It is my honor and privilege to serve as Chair for the New Lawyer Division in 2021.
Hi NLDers, I hope you all are still safe, healthy, and remembered to send your mom flowers and zoom with her on Mother’s Day.
