As to my "give back" to all Florida Bar Members to celebrate the start of 44th year, how about a FREE CLE with following approved Florida Bar accreditation: General 2.0 - Professionalism 1.0 - Ethics 1.0 - Technology 1.5. This is a gift from Judge Ralph Artigliere (retired) and me, with help from EDRM - Electronic Discovery Reference Model. Put it in your calendar for June 28th. You can download for 18 months thereafter for full credit. Name of the Course: "My AI Did It!" Is No Excuse for Unethical or Unprofessional Conduct: Consideration of recent case law and ethics opinions. More details to follow.

This annual celebration honors career achievement by recognizing lawyers for their exceptional and lengthy contributions to the profession and community — those who personify the ideals of what it means to be an attorney.

I’m excited to share that I will soon be joining Medical Teams International to serve as President & CEO. Fundamental to even the notion of “human rights” is the deeper truth of equality—that all humans, simply because they are human, are entitled to certain basic rights. Not because of what they have done, or the color of their skin, or where they live. Simply and only because of who they are—human. Likewise, a core tenet of my faith is that every human is divinely created, made in the image of their Creator. The vast diversity of humankind is itself a reflection of the vastness of God. And because of this, every human, as an image bearer of God, is of eternal significance and worth. Every single one. We live in an age where the competition for our eyes, our hearts, and our minds is unrelenting. So if you are anything like me, it is easy to forget in the swirl of news feeds and stories the very brutal reality faced by millions of humans. Over 120M humans have been forcibly displaced from their homes because of war, persecution, violence, and natural disasters. That figure has been increasing every year for well over a decade. Over 120M humans who find themselves stateless, homeless, often pushed into the most remote and isolated areas where they can so quickly be forgotten. I am honored to be given the opportunity to lead an organization that, for nearly 50 years, has not forgotten. Medical Teams goes the literal last mile to draw near to millions of suffering and vulnerable humans, providing world-class and life-saving care to the whole person, honoring their humanity, equality, and dignity. With over 2,500 staff and a vast network of volunteers and partners around the world, Medical Teams provides direct care and services to over 4M humans a year. As I embark on this transition, I am filled with deep gratitude, especially for the place I am leaving. IJM has been a foundational part of my life for over 20 years, and my employer for almost 11 years. My experiences with and at IJM have shaped me deeply, both personally and professionally. While it’s hard to leave such a special place, I feel a great sense of peace and excitement for the future, and I am eager to lead Medical Teams into its next chapter!

"[A]dvocate for issues that matter to you and your community. The journey may be challenging, and you may often feel like you are spinning your wheels, but stay focused on your goals." In honor of Native American Heritage Month, we're proud to feature a profile of appellate superstar Stacy Leeds, Dean of Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. We've shared just one excerpt of Dean Leeds's reflections below, but you can read all of her responses on the Our Community page: https://lnkd.in/eXQ4jgci Q: What advice would you give to a law student of color who aspires to be where you are now? A: Be true to yourself and don’t try to change who you are to meet unrealistic external expectations. Your background and experiences are your greatest strengths and your unique perspectives will be at a premium at some point of your career. Most importantly, advocate for issues that matter to you and your community. The journey may be challenging, and you may often feel like you are spinning your wheels, but stay focused on your goals. A wise mentor once told me something that has proven true so many times. 'You can’t always control the timing of opportunities, but you can absolutely control how prepared you will be when that opportunity comes.' #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #NativeAmericans #AppellateLinkedIn #lawschool

Well, everyone has seen that 2025 Best Lawyers is out. I've seen posts ranging from the "I'm honored, humbled, grateful, [insert all the grateful-sounding words here], etc. . . . " to "don't worry if you didn't make the list; these lists don't mean anything." If you weren't nominated, know that you have value!! How you work with people, your work product, and your client service is more important than being on a list. Also, funny story about these lists . . . I have been recognized as One to Watch for construction, corporate, and tax law. Corporate and tax law make sense, but at some point in my career, at least one of my peers nominated me for construction law. Here's the thing: I do NOT practice construction law. I've worked on deals in the construction space, but I'm not a construction lawyer. Nevertheless, thank you to my peers and colleagues who have nominated me over the years!! May we celebrate and be thankful but continue to focus on providing excellent client service and work product.

Please give this article a read as it is applicable generally to the importance of affinity groups for firm engagement and associate growth.

I am incredibly humbled to be recognized as a "Super Lawyer", an honor bestowed upon only 5% of attorneys in each state following a rigorous selection process. To get there with some of the best in our profession makes it even more special. #Superlawyers #SuperlawyersNewYork #BartonLLP #TeamBarton #Betterlaw #TurkishAmericanlawyers #womeninlaw #TurkishAmericanwomeninlaw

Welcome to CMBG3 Law Katherine Kazarian!

Many of you guessed it 😁 ... the answer to our last round of trivia is... Apple! Apple is a clear leader in our dataset given their strong fair chance hiring policies, community partnerships to support incarcerated individuals in learning new skills, technology initiatives to advance justice, and grantmaking to support reentry services. Head over to our blog to learn more and to read about the other leaders in our dataset when it comes to fair chance hiring, Union Pacific Corporation and JPMorgan. Whether you are an investor, shareholder, or employee, we hope these insights shed light on best practices that companies can utilize to reduce mass incarceration, provide a fair chance for all job seekers, and tap into a diverse, often overlooked, pool of talent. https://lnkd.in/eUuGF8pY #SecondChanceMonth #SecondChanceHiring #FairChanceHiring #FairChanceMonth #Apple
