President's Message
A Plenitude of Programs
May 06, 2021
By J. Timothy Nardell
MCBA continues to offer a wide variety of programs, still only on Zoom, but we may be within sight of an actual in-person gathering. I’d like to highlight some upcoming events and solicit your input about the past year and what it means for the upcoming year.
WEBINAR RECAP
Women Leaders Address Local Issues
May 05, 2021
By Ahtossa Fullerton
MCBA’s April member meeting brought together a powerhouse of local women leaders to discuss current issues affecting Marin County and their efforts at resolving them. Corte Madera Town Council Member Leila Mongan moderated the too-brief hour, covering issues from SMART to the name change of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard.
DONATION DRIVE
30TH ANNUAL FOOD FROM THE BAR CAMPAIGN
Apr 15, 2021
By MCBA
MCBA is participating in Food From the Bar 2021. For the last 30 years, the legal community has come together to help end hunger in San Francisco and Marin by supporting the SF-Marin Food Bank through their annual Food From the Bar campaign.
President's Message
Let’s Keep Giving Back as We Go Back to “Normal”
Apr 07, 2021
By J. Timothy Nardell
Spring has sprung, and it is starting to feel like a real, live re-opening is afoot. More of us are emerging from our shelters and returning to social life, partially or fully vaccinated, perhaps feeling a bit blinded and rubbing our eyes in the light at the end of the tunnel, after a solid year spent in the half light of shelter-in-place.
EVENT RECAP
Legal Aid of Marin and MCBA Honor Pro Bono Volunteers
Apr 06, 2021
By Mary Sackett
Every year, Legal Aid of Marin and MCBA honor the many volunteers who provide pro bono services “to create a more just and equitable Marin Community.” This year’s event started with a wonderful video montage of volunteers and Legal Aid staff over the years. Legal Aid of Marin Board President Jessica Karner served as the master of ceremonies for the evening and reminded us that this year’s ceremony covers two years, since last year’s was a casualty of the brand-new shelter-in-place orders.
Editor's Introduction
Are We Home at the Office Yet?
Mar 04, 2021
By Robert Rosborough
A few days from publication of this issue of the Marin Lawyer will be the one-year anniversary of the first shelter-in-place orders. How and where we are working now looks different not only from before the pandemic but from soon after it started as well. Remote working continues to evolve and it is clear to everyone that some aspects of it will remain when the pandemic is over. In other words, remote working isn’t going away.
Membership
Members who make time to meet with their colleagues at MCBA events gain value from local connections and stay current with updates in the courts. Marin Superior Court Judges often comment that the most skilled lawyers are usually active MCBA members.
