Happy holidays, Langston family!
We are so grateful for your support this year. There have been many major accomplishments in 2022, particularly after we spent more than two years in a remote environment.
For example:
- We gave away nearly $100K in scholarships to outstanding law students at our Gala in February;
- We had a record increase in Lifetime Members;
- We enjoyed a renewed connection and engagement with our members and supporters at in-person and virtual events throughout the year;
- We were (and are) even more present at legal aid clinics and other events in our community;
- We mentored high school, college, and law school students to create a larger and more diverse pipeline into the legal profession;
- We honored a stellar slate of legal giants at our Hall of Fame event;
- We partnered with other bar associations to support the California task force studying reparations proposals and the amicus briefing at the U.S. Supreme Court on affirmative action;
- We hosted a forum with the new U.S. Attorney and the Federal Public Offender in the Central District of California; and
- Our members celebrated some of the most significant trial wins in the country this year.
Put simply, as I promised at the beginning of the year, we leaned in and made 2022 a new beginning for Langston. And, I could not be more proud of the work we have done together and all the great things that President-Elect Stephen King and the incoming Board have planned for next year.
Thank you, again, for your support. I hope to see all of you at our holiday party on December 16. Until then, we wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, and a prosperous New Year!
