I attended the U.W. Law School mentorship reception last evening.  I got to meet my new mentee.  The speaker at this event was Judge Lori K. Smith.  I have now participated in the mentorship program at the University of Washington School of Law for nine years.

I met with one of my mentees from the University of Washington School of Law yesterday.  It is always interesting to hear what is happening in the legal world from a law student’s perspective.

I joined the King County Bar Association Future of the Law Institute Committee yesterday.  This Committee is designed to allow underprivileged youth to be exposed to opportunities in the legal profession.
