The 2007 MAMAS reception was a tremendous success. We celebrated the anniversary of our founding with a reception and panel discussion on the role of diversity in the bar, with over a hundred people in attendance, including prominent members of the bench, bar, and press. Our reception was featured in a story in Washington Law & Politics.
We were honored to have an outstanding group of panelists from the federal and state judiciary:
- Judge Mary Kay Becker, Washington Court of Appeals, Division I;
- Magistrate Judge James P. Donohue, United States District Court for the Western District of Washington
- Justice Mary E. Fairhurst, Washington State Supreme Court
- Senior Circuit Judge Betty B. Fletcher, United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
- Judge Richardo S. Martinez, United States District Court for the Western District of Washington
- Judge Marsha J. Pechman, United States District Court for the Western District of Washington
- Acting Chief Judge Ann Schindler, Washington Court of Appeals, Division I
Our panelists were engaging, entertaining, and insightful, speaking on issues ranging from dealing with potential bias on juries to practical advice for attorneys considering having children. We recorded the event, and the discussion is posted in podcast form on Heller Ehrman's website.
