Diversity Central

This is California, the home of diversity. The legal field is no exception. California lawyers can select from the Irish-American Bar Association, The Italian-American Lawyers Association, The Asian-American Bar Association, The John M. Langston Bar Association (that last one is for African American lawyers), Women Lawyers Association, The Japanese-American Bar Association, and The Southern California Chinese Lawyers Association. That's just to start.

Well, tomorrow is Settende Mai, the 17th of May and Norwegian Independence Day. So this is the appropriate time to point you to the site for The Half-Norwegian (On The Mother's Side) American Bar Association. They're having a luncheon meeting this afternoon at McCormick and Schmick's Seafood Restaurant on 5th Street in downtown Los Angeles. I'm a little late in posting this. But if you read it within a few seconds of my posting it and you work across the street, you may still be able to race over there and grab some lutefisk before it's all gone. The speaker will be (or was by now) Sheriff Lee Baca who is/was going to discuss that great Norwegian law man, Elliot Ness.
